Apparently, young Mr Cecil has had a change of heart regarding Murray State . Good to figure that out before getting there.

 

I'm sure he'll make a wise choice.

I heard from a pretty reliable source that he maybe walking on at UK .

Yep. Full ride academically? I would think so.

I hope it's that President's Scholarship...books, board, tuition + a stipend. I'm sure he would go in as a "preferred" walk-on if he decides to continue FB. They do have a pretty fair engineering school there, too! (so does UC! wink-wink!)

Probably a good choice in the long run. I'm hearing there are some grumblings in Murray about their recent lack of success

Is Cecil not going to Murray State University a done deal, or is this still up in the air?

Done deal for the little fella... his heart bleeds UK blue!

I type in green to display my envy for the young man who gets a chance to wear the blue and white at Commonwealth.

Ryan Ernst reported that he will indeed go to UK as a walk-on. Does anyone know if he will be a "preferred walk-on?"

From what i believe they rarely have non-preferred walk-ons. Most schools dont hold open tryouts anymore. Atleast thats how its done at Eastern.

Clay will be a pre-ferred walk-on. After visiting UK last weekend he knew that is where he really wanted to go. He loves the school and wants to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering. The UK people believe he can help the team either as a slot reciever or DB.

So EKU doesn't have tryouts anymore? So if a player is interested in walking on the team, what does he need to do and when? Does EKU take many walkons?

Did he make a football official visit or academic visit?? How does this preferred walkon usually work? Do the coaches just call the player up and offer a walkon status or does the player call the coach and ask if they can walkon?

A "preferred walk-on" is an athlete who is being recruited, to a certain extent, just not as a scholarship player.
