The University at Buffalo football program will hold walk-on tryouts at the beginning of the spring 2018 semester, and they are open to any UB student currently enrolled full-time who meets the UB walk-on academic standards. We reserve the right to deny any student a tryout if that student does not meet UB or NCAA eligibility standards.
Those interested need to contact Director of High School Relations Grant Murray to be placed on a list to go through the procedures to try out for the team. Please Email Grant at grantmur@buffalo.edu with the subject line: 2018 SPRING WALK-ON TRYOUT by February 7th, 2018. In your email, please be sure to include the following information:
- Name
- UB person number

- Date of Birth
- Contact Number (cell preferred)
- Your high school (and the year) from which you graduated (e.g., Amherst High School, 2017)
- Term and year of first full-time semester at any university/college – 12 or more credits in one semester; (e.g., Fall 2017) and the name of that university/college
All candidates must be enrolled in at least 12 or more credit hours for the fall semester and are required to have:
- Paperwork from a physical exam by their doctor within the last 6 months; Physician needs to state on the physical exam paperwork that you are cleared for intercollegiate athletics
