Ahh, I have problems (decisions, decisions)
I guess I'll lay down my situation. I'm 18 and just completed my senior year of football. Earlier this year, I got a note asking me to release my grades. I was under the assumation that it was some local school(s) who I might have garnished some attention with, I live in Kansas. I paid no attention because I was suppose to move to Washington and possibly play ball up there. I got ****ed around and ending up not going to Washington. So now, I finished my season and my grades weren't released so I got no offers. It sucks seeing other players from my team who aren't as gifted as me getting full rides. Now, entering college I still want to play. I'd like to walk on somewhere such as KU or MU but after reading horror stories about how walk ons are treated. Eh, I just don't know. A player from my school is attending KU, a extremely promising MLB and a linemen from my class got invited there. I was always considered a shortier version of that linebacker who will be a sophmore or junior at KU next fall. Should I walk on or find a smaller school? Sport aren't the only factor, KU and MU are great schools for what I want to study. I keep hearing good things about the AFL's Desperados. I wouldnt mind trying out there. A little help guys?
My stats would help wouldn't they? Here they are.
Height: 6'0
Weight: Around 230, plan on getting up to 250 or so.
Maxes...
Bench: Right now, 340 but my personal goal is 420 before I graduate.
Squat: 490- 500. Again, this shall go up.
Clean: 300. Horrible, consider my bench I know. I just never spent much time with this lift but I will.
These maxs are based off of reps. I'm aware most colleges look at on bar lifts.
My best aspect is my speed. At 230 I run a 4.5 40 and 4.2 agility. I plan on attaining a speed coach to drop those numbers even more. I really want to run a 4.3 electric and be able to keep my weight by summer's end.
I also have a somewhat colorful wrestling career to my credit.
I know, stats or weight room numbers aren't everything but you can get a feel as to what I can do.
So, walk on at KU? MU? Smaller school? AFL?
