No more Walk On Success Story's at Georgia ....

[Top Row Dawg]

End of a Major Component for Georgia Football

The Georgia Bulldogs have had a handful of these stories throughout its history as a program. Kicker Rodrigo Blankenship turned from walk-on to internet sensation with his iconic "goggles" look, safety Dan Jackson became arguably Georgia's most consistent defender after walking on, and of course, quarterback Stetson Bennett became the Bulldogs' most decorated walk on quarterback in history with two national titles. 

An eventual shift to roster limits, permitting each school to hold a roster size of 105 players. In the previous NCAA model, schools were permitted only 85 players on a roster but were allowed to possess as many walk-ons as they wanted. The new hard-cap roster limit likely means that the story of the "walk-on" in college football has come to a close and the sport's "feel good" stories will now likely come from players who are on scholarship.

No, we would still have recruited those guys because we need them.  Instead of preferred walk-ons, which they were, they would be the lessor paid guys.  So instead of walk-ons, we will have the minimum wage or lunch pail guys.
