So what do ‘run ons’ get? Any financial aid at all? Full access to practice, training, weight room, training table, nutritional advise, academic counseling? Just what is a ‘run on’?

They receive no financial aid via the athletic department at the beginning, but can always earn a scholarship down the road (quite common). But once you’re on the team, they have access to everything the rest of the team has access to.

Run-on is really just a fancy term for a walk-on as well. They serve as deep depth and kind of like an NFL “practice squad”. They’re the unappreciated of college football, they’re seen but rarely heard from and play a key role in a teams success. This may be over explaining but most of them you’ll only see in special teams situations or late in blowouts. Though some walk-ins / run-ons can become impact players like Matt McGloin and Carl Nassib.

Pretty much what I thought. But as preferred walk on, bet they get a tad more attention and help. Thanks!

Exactly, most walk-ons these days are PWOs but if there are regular walk-ons, the PWOs do get more attention. A lot of walk-one for programs like Penn State are usually FCS-level kids, so most are still among the top 20,000 or so high school players in the country. When you consider there’s 11,000 FBS scholarship players alone, it’s still pretty damn good!

Rossi is listed at 6'4" and 195#, a different body type than many of the PSU receiver group. Wish him well

Put some weight on him and he moves to tight end? That’s my thinking with his size.
