You also might check into what schools have experienced a recent coaching change and might not have a strong recruiting list in the pipeline.

My kid plays soccer and the first D3 coach to contact her was one hired just days before Covid shut everything down. My kid doesn’t graduate until 2022, but I know the coach gave some 2020 and 2021 players walk-on opportunities in part because the pandemic made it too hard to see games or films. But even without those factors, this coach had a program with a losing record and no relationships already being built with potential players.

If there is a school on your son’s list that might be less attractive to other recruits because of a poor record and/or new coach, maybe there will be more walk-on possibilities
