What are the age rules for NCAA?
hell I don't think there is any!
Chris Wenke "FSU" was like 28 or something
i think after 21 you lose a one year of eligibility or something....
i would go to your campus and talk a coach (prefer o-line coach) as soon as possible...
also take some football strategy 101 classes (easiest 1 or 2 units you will ever earn.. plus you get to know your fellow players)
and mix in some phsyical therapy classes...

You still need to register with the NCAA clearinghouse, so you should probably go chat with your athletic department and see how you go about registering. Typically registration is done your senior year in high school (at least it was at my high school).

How old are you?

I have a few problems

1. I went to a junior college as soon as HS got out, i never went and never withdrew my classes so i have a 0.0 GPA
2. Im going back to the same college this fall so i can get my grades up enough to transfer (2.0)
3. According to the NCAA Initial Clearing house my GPA from HS is 3.5, and im eligible to receive aid, but until i get my grades up i can't

weight and bench/squat stats dont tell me anything about your ability to play D1 ball. In highschool I was 6 foot 230 and ran a 4.8 40. Started both ways/special teams etc...I was being scouted mostly by D2 but a couple D1 were also interested....Then I blew out my knee and couldnt play anymore. The thing is there were kids on my team that were 6'5 300 and could bench a house...but they were too slow, too stupid (in game wise), etc. I think its worth a try though if you wanna try and walk on...worst case scenario you dont make it...best case..well you get the point
