I understand that the University of Kentucky offered Austin Sheehan a preferred walk on status today based on his impressive performance at camp today. Congrats Mr. Sheehan.

Congrats Ozzy !

What high school? What position?

Teaser ... good for him but I have always considered an offer a scholarship.

Highlands/Wide Receiver

What is sick about this great accolade is the fact that he will be on the receiving end of Towles and the Birds are loaded at receiver this season. I would not want to be an opposing Defensive Back on the Birds schedule this season. SPEED KILLS

Big congrats to Ozzie.:dancingpa

Highlands/Wide Receiver

 

Thanks for the info. Congratulations to the youngster.

Well that's not necessarily true. For example an offer to play at Thomas More doesn't mean you're getting a full scholarship. For me "Offers" are an opportunity for kids to continue to play regardless of scholarship.

Does Oz have a chance to earn a scholly there? If not, why not? Congrats to him anyway, but a walk-on offer so early???? Puzzles me?

In the recruiting world when someone says, "so and so got an offer from Florida." Usually means a scholarship offer. Also, I don't usually hear about an offer from Thomas More. Offers are usually referred to as scholarship offers. But to each its own. Not a big deal.

A walk-on offer gets you in the door and in front of coaches. It can and has led to offers of full scholarships. Outstanding opportunity for this young man.

He might turn into a good return man for UK seeing how must of UK's receivers are very tall. Or he could turn into the next Dickie Lyons!

Look now matter if he walks on paying for him own education or they give him a full ride next year they though enough of him to ask him to play on there team. Great job Ozzie the Brentwood crowed is proud of you,

Agree. I have a feeling that after the season starts the offer my change. Either way, this is awesome for Ozzie.
