  • The Weekly Walk-On Trailer

    Welcome to The Weekly Walk-On. I am a former SEC walk-on who also spent 15 years working as an administrator in collegiate athletics. I recently shifted careers to have a better work life balance, but my passion is still college football. This passion has driven me to create this podcast to allow me to still be close to the game I love. My goal is to help others see what goes on behind the scenes and hear from those responsible for everything that happens in a college football program outside the lines. I want this to be as interactive as possible, so please send post episode questions or ideas for future episodes to @cfbguy on X/Twitter.
