Answer 1

of course.. u can walk on.. and beause of your background in soccer you could be the KICKER... prob a pretty good one also!

Answer 2

If you signed your NCAA clearinghouse waivers yo could probably try walking on to the team... just make sure your records are all up=to=date and and all of your forms are turned in

Answer 3

Well technically you can....you would be called a walk-on. But i highly doubt that you will make the cut as football is a sport that needs years of fine tuning as it is a sport that is fast and full contact but is often decided by seconds....but that shouldnt stop you from trying something new....but i think once you get out there you might very well have a new appreciation for the sport....
