There are several options. The best option for the Tide would be for him to walk on and then be given a scholarship from somebody who leaves or actually who has left the team. We can't give him one from our current allotment, but we can give him one if somebody leaves the team. It's one of those bend but don't break the rules kind of situations. We aren't allowed to give him one, but we can tell him that he can earn one very quickly...like spring practice...knowing all along that we'll have one available. He'll just have to pay for his first 6 months of school.
By the way, we need the BEST KICKER WE CAN GET! I am totally in favor of using a scholarship on a kicker if he's that good. Kicking has cost us at least 2 games this year alone and possibly 3!
