As of today, there has been a post from the incredible young Carl White III, “Blessed to receive a PWO roster spot from Kennesaw State University.” With the amazing skills he has shown this past fall, there is much to be said for what he has to look for in this coming year in college football.
I know that I had to ask what the acronym “PWO” stood for, and here is what I found:
A recruited player that is enrolling at the college and is guaranteed a roster spot but does not have a scholarship offer. Coaches may invite them to join the team to help on the practice squad or special teams in football. Often a PWO is verbally given a contingent scholarship offer. If the player works his way up into the regular playing rotation, he may be awarded a scholarship. Coaches may also award a scholarship during the last year of eligibility to a walk-on who has been with the team for several seasons and if the team has scholarships available.
I know that with some of the highlights that have been seen on HUDL and much of his other work as well as other earlier offers that have been coming in the door, there will be much for this young man to look forward to in the college years and moving forward. Being able to run all-purpose plays across the field for his team there is much to be seen for what he will be able to do at the college level.
Best of luck Carl, The Playbook Athlete is looking for the many more offers to come for you!
