Boles is a QB, and here's his tape:

EDIT: Boles rushed for 1,000+ yards last year: http://etsn.fm/hendersons-zane-boles-rec...son-state/
If the QB thing doesn't work out, could see him being a position change candidate? Tape and statistics suggests he can scoot.

6'6", 220lbs, good size. Looks like he didn't do much his first three years in HS but had a good senior season, and only got a couple offers late, an FCS offer and a Div II offer. Good luck to him!

First, good news for Mr. Boles and family!
Secondly, I'm fuzzy on how walk-ons work within Stanford's generous tuition guidelines. We've probably discussed this but what happens if Dwayne's family falls under the $125K free tuition guidelines from the university? Will they be forced to pay full freight since Dwayne is a "recruited walk-on".
As the trigger level climbs this must have become a commonly faced problem.Â

Is he a recruited walk-on?
My memory is that if a recruited walk on gets any sort of financial aid, then he qualifies as a counter as soon as he appears in a game.
There are two cards to play here. One is that often schools work hard to have players NOT be recruited walk ons, so they don't fall under this rule. The second is a form of grey-shirting - the player with financial aid simply doesn't get into a game until a scholarship is available.
At least for Stanford, there are scholarships available - which seems to be our usual situation.

Stanford Football, indeed, works very hard to make certain no walk on is a "recruited walkon." Separately also this student athlete will either get financial aid or not, no implication to football scholarships, or his folks will get large quarterly invoices.

Shaw clearly wanted a walkon QB in this class. He tried to get Green first and now Boles. Stanford will have only 3 other QBs on the roster in 2015 and 2016. I bet the numbers will be similar going forward based on Shaw's plan not to over recruit scholarship QBs. It's nice to have an extra QB on the scout team and as an insurance policy in case of a mass of injuries. I doubt his value elsewhere on the field could match the value he presents as a backup QB.Â

The NCAA rules say an athlete is considered "recruited" if one of the following occurs:
- The athlete makes an official visit to the school. (An official visit is made at the school's expense. If the athlete pays, it's not an official visit.)
- The coaches visit the athlete in his home (or have a pre-arranged meeting anywhere else off-campus).
- The coaches initiate more than one phone call to the athlete.
- The coaches send the athlete a Letter of Intent form.
As I understand it, Stanford tries to work around those rules with respect to most walk-ons. That means that most walk-ons are not considered "recruited." They can receive normal non-athletic financial aid without having it count against the scholarship limit.
There have been a few cases in which walk-ons were deemed "recruited," often because they made an official visit. Recruited walk-ons can receive normal non-athletic financial aid and it will not count against the scholarship limit until they appear in a game. Once they appear in a game, they become "counters" against the scholarship limit.
