Wow, 4 star and wants to walk on. I like that tenacity. Welcome aboard, Parker. BTW, ACA has a very nice stadium. Looks better than most 4A-6A schools.

He doesn't have a star ranking. The 4 star is from readers. His video is impressive, though. Glad to have him.

Not trying to slam you, but you might to want to check his rating again. Dose not appear he is rated or has an offer from anyone.

I wished we had 4-stars walking on. That would be great:)

He'll be a great walk-on. He's good and the only bad thing is ACA's quality of competition. I'm a small school fan, but their schedule is not quite loaded nor is their region. (Not trying to slight him at all)

Their stadium is nice (all in Tuscaloosa are nice....haha) but I've seen plenty of 4A-6A that are better. I wouldn't say "better than most 4A-6A"

They can't play until their junior year otherwise they count towards the 85 scholarshiped players.

They can play before their junior year but have to count against the annual 25 in the year they walked on. So, if the year they walked on the school signed and brought on campus 25 players, the walkon cannot play until he has been in the program for two years.

We are talking about invited walkons in this instance and an invited walkon always counts against the 85 no matter when they play whether it is their freshman year or their senior year.

An uninvited walkon can play at any time and never count against the 25 or 85.

How does an invited walk-on count against the 85 scholarship players? He's a walk-on, not a scholarship athlete.

Unless a nuclear bomb went off and the NCAA made serious changes, any walk-on can play. For example, if a walk-on kicker wins the job in preseason (Leigh Tiffin) I believe a Bryant Scholarship Receipiant (son of former Bryant player) falls into the 2 year wait category. But ANY walk-on can play if they are paying their own way. But it is great to have him and hope he will contribute in some way. I have seen him play.
