My son was offered a walk-on spot as a redshirt practice player for this year. Much like Jared McGregor was offered a couple of years ago and then received a roster spot a year later. Basically was a one year tryout. It has been my son's dream to play for BYU, but ironically my son attended the Football High School recruits camp in June and he dominated there (first time playing football in years because of basketball) so he was invited to the football walk-on group this fall (he is trying for TE - He is 6'6" 230 lbs and runs a 4.7 40 and has great hands).  He would have had to give up the football walk-on opportunity for basketball, so after thinking about it quite a bit he decided to stay with the football opportunity because he thinks he might make it. The basketball team understood and left the door open if he doesn't make it on the football team which is nice.
