Rated as a three-star prospect by Rivals, Walker is preparing for his final season of high school football in the fall at Georgetown High School in Georgetown, Texas.

Walker, who has almost 20 Division I offers, received an offer from Rich Rodriguez’s WVU staff in early February. More recently, Houston tried to lock him up as well during his visit with the Cougars on March 21.

Bowling Green, Charlotte, Marshall, Navy, New Mexico State, Ohio, Rice, San Diego State, Tulsa, UNLV, UTEP and UTSA are just some of the other schools who have bern pursing Walker.
