No Experience Required, tells the story of the Texas A&M "12th Man" kickoff coverage team made up entirely of walk-on players.
Coming off a losing season in 1982 in his first year as Texas A&M's head football coach, Jackie Sherrill sought to light a fire under his team and connect to the passion of the student body. Appealing to the long-held Aggie tradition of the "12th Man" ready to answer the call to play if needed, Sherrill held open tryouts in 1983, seeking to create a kickoff coverage team featuring all non-scholarship walk-ons.
