I am very interested in hearing the outcome

I'm also extremely curious about the outcome. As I read this you say he was a Preferred WO. There is no preferred walk-on status with the NCAA, only recruited athlete. There is no athletic consideration ($) only an opportunity to walk-on just as any student is allowed to do. So, I believe the ambiguity is around the coaches/schools designation of preferred walk-on and the NCAAs definition of a recruited athlete.

Best of luck, I've got my fingers crossed for you.

PS...I hate the coaching terminology "preferred walk-on". My son was in a similar situation with an SEC school offering academic money and an "opportunity" to make the baseball team.
