Never say never..... I know of 2 cases within the last 7 years where this came true (I have no doubt there are many more, just my retention capacity is extremely limited crazy ). Enclosed is a baseball example, though not really a "show up for tryouts" case.

The second example is with a D1 women's basketball program. A student went to a P5 university, played in high school but it ended there. She loved the sport so much she volunteered to be the student team manager at this university (for 1 - 2 years). Some unfortunate team injuries & academic problems left the team with barely enough players. The manager asked the HC if she could try out for the team and was granted. She ended up on the team her remaining years.

Odds are still stacked up against you but nevertheless, if you are in the right place at the right time, you never know. Good luck
