Football Program Walk-On Information

The Oklahoma State Football Program holds two open tryout dates per year. One at the beginning of August after fall classes begin, and the second at the end of January during Spring Semester. At these tryouts, each potential walk-on will be tested on areas of body measurement, speed, agility, and strength. Based on performance results, potential walk-ons will be evaluated and graded on their ability to compete with our scholarship athletes. If the potential walk-on is determined to have the ability to compete at the Division I Level, he will then be added for participation according to roster availability (provided the individual meets academic and NCAA requirements) in either practice or off-season conditioning drills.
