BYU's New Walk-Ons

The BYU football team conducted its walk-on tryouts today, and 10 players made the first cut. They were all well aware of BYU's walk-on tradition of success, including this year's all-walk-on starting secondary down the stretch.

Here is the list of BYU's potential Chad Lewis':

Jake Gerber
Doug Young
Steven Fisher
Tana Uyema
Dustin Graham
Daniel Holmoe (No nepotism involved for the athletic director's son. He just returned from a mission and earned the spot.)
Ryan Trane
Spencer Orr
Jonathan McCullough
Steven McFarlane

A few of them let out screams of excitement when they saw their name posted on the piece of white paper. A group of four excitedly grabbed their belongings and headed for some celebratory "grub."

"It's better than Christmas," said Gerber, a freshman cornerback from Iowa.

The walk-ons spent much of the afternoon filling out paperwork so they can be eligible to begin running and lifting with the team on Monday. They will endure a three-week test period before being reevaluated.

"It's been my dream to play BYU football," said Young, a junior cornerback from Idaho who played for the Magic Valley Bulldogs in the Rocky Mountain Football League and arrived at BYU this semester.
