Al Golden doesn’t care what you think, Miami needs walk-on offensive linemen
Miami is scouring its campus looking for offensive linemen.
Earlier this week, fliers appeared around campus asking "any student that is at least 6'1 and 230+ pounds" to contact the team about trying out to become an offensive lineman.
Yep, Miami football has come to this.
Most programs hold some sort of walk-on tryout to allow guys who maybe played in high school and didn't get recruited a chance to relive their gridiron glory. Kansas was very public about its tryouts earlier this spring. And LSU's walk-on tryouts were the talk of the country because of female placekicker Mo Isom.
Sure, most programs don't go putting fliers up in the student wellness center looking for players — let alone offensive linemen — but if the team has a need, it should do whatever it has to do.
