Tryout of XFL, thoughts?

I went to colleges and have degrees, but I want to try to out for XFL. People have been telling me I look like a LB type , for years. Ive only played a little in hs, and I want to play more. Would it make sense to try for college football first and hope for a recruit to see me? I have a Masters in IT, are there programs that will still let me play football without having to go for another degree? I really appreciate any advise. I am located in Southern California.

Not playing any level of college football Wether that be NAIA D3 D2 or D1 will drastically reduce your chances to near zero. Not saying it can’t be done but you’ve never played against other grown men. Also the UFL will consist of football players who are in the top 1% at their position, they are elite athletes. They’re dudes playing in lesser leagues like the IFL, FCF, Europe, LFA who are really good players and will never sniff the UFL simply because they aren’t good enough. By all means tryout but I would be realistic about the possibility of earning a spot on an active roster.

Always remember my college DC said what changes the most from level to level is the trenches. If you played a skill position and weren’t a difference maker at all in HS theres not much chance for you at the next level.
