Why, if you have full ride offers, would you walk on anywhere? If some school offers you a full ride it is because they think you can play for them and they are willing to make a financial committment to fully fund your education because of that belief. It is an honor to receive a full scholarship, no matter the school.

When you walk on (preferred or whatever). They may like you but they don't believe you can be player for them. Don't care what they tell you. If they think you are a player they will pay up. I know some walk ons earn scholarships and become great players but that is not the case for most. Most walk ons stick around for a year or two, realize they cannot play at that level, then quit football or transfer to a school they can play (where they may or may not get money). And now that walk on owes money in student loan debt.

Don't walk on at a school because you grew up being a "fan" of that team. Go take the scholarship from the coaching staff that is a fan of you! The coaching staff that has determined that you are worth committing on of their scholarships too. If you pass up a scholly to go wear the uniform of a school you grew up liking then you are basically, in most cases, paying for an ultimate fan experience.
