A list of frequently asked questions about UWF football tryouts has been compiled below:
When can I try out for the UWF football team?
Football tryouts will be held at Pen Air Field at University Park. Future tryouts will be held at the beginning of the fall and spring semester each year.
What are the requirements to try out?
(1) All participants in the UWF football tryout must be currently enrolled as a
full-time student at the University of West Florida. Full-time students at UWF must take a minimum of 12 undergraduate or 9 graduate credit hours per semester during the fall and spring semesters to be eligible for athletic competition. For admission requirements, visit uwf.edu.

The tryout for walk-ons is a competition for a spot on the team, not for a scholarship. Students that make the team through the tryout may earn a scholarship at a later date, but that is not guaranteed.
What are the coaching staff's expectations for the student-athletes?
The football coaching staff is looking for young men that will be positive representatives of the University of West Florida on and off the field.

Dedication in the classroom will be a priority, as one of the team's goals will be to maintain a combined team grade point average of 3.0.

The University of West Florida Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has won 10 national championships, and UWF leads all schools in Gulf South Conference history with 107 league championships and 32 all-sports trophies. Football became the 15th varsity sport at the University when then-UWF President Judy Bense confirmed on Sept. 4, 2013 that the team would begin playing in 2016. The Argos have won 44 games in five seasons, won the 2019 NCAA Division II National Championship and were the National Finalists in 2017 - the program's second year of existence.
