A meeting will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 4 in the Scogin room at Malone Stadium for anyone that is interested in trying out for the football team.

Several requirements must be filled in order to participate. Students have to be a full-time student at ULM and have a minimum GPA of 2.5. Particpants are also required to have played high school football and to bring proof of insurance.

Students that are chosen for the team will have the chance to potentially earn a scholarship.

Director of Football Operations, Vince Logan, says Head Coach Todd Berry holds a strict policy of putting the best player on the field, even if they are a walk-on. There are multiple examples of recent success at ULM.

“The ULM football program has had a lot of success with walk-ons in recent years,”said Logan.

“Brent Leonard who came here as a walk-on, ended up in the pre-seaon in camp with the New Orleans Saints and left here as the all-time leading receiver in ULM history.”

Leonard played a key role in the success of the 2013 team. His fourth quarter contrubitions against the then eighth ranked Arkansas Razorbacks were vital in the team’s dramatic upset victory.

Other notable  Warhawk walk-ons include former middle linebacker, Jason Edwards and deep snapper Madison Tharp.

Edwards worked his way to a starting position and and stayed there from 2010-2011.

Tharp was the team’s deep snapper from 2010  though the 2013 season.

NFL stars Jordy Nelson, J.J. Watt, and Clay Matthews all spent time as walk-ons at their respected universities. These are just a few recent walk-on successes.

Logan says that if anyone has questions or concerns, they can contact him at (318) 342-5369 or via email at [email protected].
