Ohio football is hosting walk-on tryouts on Monday January 29th.

Here's to hoping this will help us to make for some more losses to the transfer portal.

Has this been done before in the recent past? First I've heard of it?

Jim,
As far as I know they do these tryouts every year. That is the way we end up with around 110 players total on the roster. Say 85 scholarship players, 5-10 preferred walk-ons, then they usually fill out with players from campus tryouts. someone will correct me if I am wrong, I'm sure.

Every year, since at least Hess.

Dead on, with the exception that the roster limit is larger than 110 now. Not much.

I guess I just never saw it publicized before. I knew it was done way back when. I just didn't know it was still a thing today.

I wonder who has had the biggest impact on the team after showing up for one of these.

Pretty much every school still does this, including Ohio State.

You and me both. Tried do an internet search for the yearly results, but didn't come up with anything.

Probably hard to go back and sift through who is a PWO and who is just a regular WO. Feels like we hear about kickers being called in from the frat house more than anywhere else though.

I do recall a young Baker Reagan Mayfield having to walk on, twice.
