Irish add PWO for 2016

[Bodizephax]

Peter Bush from New Port beach (6' 214 pounds---pro style quarterback) just accepted an offer from ND to be a preffered walkon for 2016 !

Another pro style QB !

Setting the table for Hunter Johnson ! Pro style friendly environment !

Sounds good

What exactly is preferred walk on? What benefits do they get in relation towards tuition or is anything paid at all? What is the advantage of a preferred walk on?

Noting is paid towards tuition from the team because they aren't on scholarship. Advantage of being a preferred walk on is mainly that they don't have to try out for the team.

Good for him. He'll join his brother Sam, who was also a PWO and will be a sophomore OG this year.

It also likely smoothes the way with admissions...i.e. Like most of the scholarship football players you get accepted at ND under different rules than the general student population.

Sure I assume that is another perk. Also, i would assume PWO'S are more likely to earn a spot on scholarship eventually then your average guy hoping to walk on.
