Football offers opportunity to walk-on with open tryouts

Students at Central Michigan University have the chance to join the football team with an open tryout.

In order to tryout as a walk-on, students have to email Albert Karschnia at fbrecruiting@cmich.edu by 7 p.m. on Jan. 8.

The Chippewas are coached by John Bonamego, who helped lead his team to an 8-5 overall and 6-2 Mid-American Conference record.

If a student is given a chance to play for the football team as a walk-on, the athlete can gain a scholarship offer with exceptional performance on the field.

One of the most famous CMU players to be a walk-on was Antonio Brown.
