Yeah, the toughest thing with walk-ons is they seems to get less (or no) benefit of the doubt from admissions than scholarship athletes.  Didn't we have a walk-on kicker recruit a couple years ago who seemed like a shoo-in to get accepted, until he didn't?

Yes, Hayden Lekacz. Here is the thread discussing him last year. He ended up and Vanderbilt.

Does anyone have a sense for how the admissions office handles preferred walk-ons? Do they get the same attention as projected scholarship players, or are they in the general applicant pool? If it's the latter, there are obviously no shoe-ins.
