It depends. If he didn't have an athletic scholarship, he could still walk on to the team and pay his own way while redshirting. But if he didn't walk on to the team, he wouldn't be able to participate in anything if he wasn't on an academic scholarship.

If you're giving him a scholarship because he's an athlete, it's an athletic scholarship. The NCAA is messed up, but they've seen it all before.
These fanciful scenarios are not going to happen, period. Doug and Ricky walking on as Big 6 caliber starters two years in a row is beyond unlikely, we will be lucky if we see a single walk on of that caliber again in our lifetimes.

Doug says differently.
