So let's say I happen to know an individual who will be a walk-on LB this year.  I am curious without really know anything other than a few "measurable" things what his chances of making the team would be and what he would need to do to make the team as a walk-on.  

Here's what I know:

Size - 6'2" 250lbs. Know this for a fact.  Pretty lean with huge arms, etc. Squats a ridiculous amount but don't remember the number.  

Toughness - tough as heck.  Will flatten people and impervious to pain. fact.

Experience - varsity LB starter at least 2 years at a 5A texas school.  

Speed - um, kind of fast?  sorry that's all I know there.  Not blazing fast (this might be the main issue), run stopper type of athlete.

Versatility - has played both offense and defense, including tight end and caught some passes but not (as far as I know) his main talent.

 

So - what should his expectations be in competition?  I am just curious people's thoughts.

Two year starter for a 5A Texas school is a good thing.  How did this 5A school do the past two years?  Not that this has anything to do with the walk-on......just wondering.  And did he have any offers?

As long as he puts in 110% and never quits, I think his chances are very good. It might take a season but if he gives it his all and leaves everything out on that field, he will make the team but who knows

250 out of HS? he's getting move to Tackle immediately. I dont remember a safety we recruited from Houston but I do recall a grayshirt from this recruiting cycle DE from Htown.

It's not really secret, I'm really just holding back until I know for sure he's going to be walking on.  He's enrolled and wants to walk on, I am just waiting until we get closer to workouts before giving more info.
