Taking an official visit makes one a recruited athlete, which nixes the possibility of being a regular walk-on in the future. However, there is no rule that says a preferred walk-on candidate can't take an OV.

If you Google "preferred walk-on" and "official visit," you'll find there are many prospects around the country in the same position as Horky.

This. Yes, Horky's visit was an OV. And he'll still be a walk on.

He is a walk on and cannot sign while still in high school since he does have a scholarship offer. Beck and Jumper are already enrolled at UT, that is why they signed today.

Just seems strange that OU would be able to offer an immediate scholly to a LS.

Good gig if he gets it. No hard feelings, if he lands a scholarship

If top programs are poaching your walk-ons with scholarship offers, you are doing something right

Elite long snapper Wesley Horky of Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, Tenn., who committed to Tennessee last month as a preferred walk-on, told me tonight that he's planning to take an official visit to Oklahoma this weekend.

Horky said he's currently not planning to visit any other schools, so it sounds like his final decision probably will come down to the Vols and Sooners, who have indicated that they might be willing to give him a full scholarship and sign him as a late addition to their 2014 class.

"I committed to Tennessee like a week before signing day and coach Boulware came back the day before singing day and told me they had a scholarship for me and I told Tennessee that I was going to take an official to Oklahoma and that's where we are right now," he said. "With Tennessee it was a preferred walk-on and if I won the spot I would be put on scholarship in January."

"I kind of want to get away, you have to grow up at some point and all my friends they are going to Tennessee, or well most of them. Of course, they all want me to go to Tennessee, but I have to do what is best for me because that's all that matters," he said. "My parents, they are really excited, they want to meet all the coaches. They are all for me going away because they know that would be best for me and that's why we were all excited."

"When I committed to Tennessee, I thought it was all done. When coach Boulware called and my parents started getting on me about calling coaches and all of this stuff. I just really wanted to come out here and see what it's like, I don't know how I could pass up an opportunity to play at one of the best programs and special teams coaches in the country," Horky said of Boulware.

Just wait till he sees Norman. He will turn his butt right back around. THey would literally have to pay me far and above tuition to attend school there.
