It is possible for a student who wasn't recruited to try out for a team, these students are called "walk-ons". If the student is talented enough, he can beat out the recruited players and earn a spot on the team.

It is also possible for an athletic student to play multiple sports in college. It isn't the easiest thing to do- the student will have plenty of competition- but if he is the best player available for both teams and has coaches who are willing to work with him, it is definitely a possibility. Basketball and football have the added problem of overlapping season. However, while it is unlikely there have been students known to make the teams and excel in both.
