The top-100 sophomore defensive back from Nashvilles Ensworth High School said Tennessee and LSU currently are standing out to him among the five schools pursuing him, and the Vols have made him feel like Im a priority for them during each of his visits to Knoxville over the past year.
Of course, LSU, Tennessee, those two are probably my top right now, Walker said during a recent National Playmakers Academy open workout at Tennessee State University. But Ill start exploring which schools right for me in the summer and spring.
I feel like they really want me to come to their program, said Walker, whos ranked by 247Sports as the nations No. 95 overall prospect and No. 8 cornerback in the 2019 class. From talking to them, just what theyre telling me and stuff, I feel like Im a priority for them.
The UT visit was really good, Walker said. I liked the atmosphere. I got to stay up there that night, too, so I got to come back the next day and stuff. I ate in the lounge with a lot of the recruits, and then we got to go in the locker room, too, so I got to talk to the players. I talked to Rashaan Gaulden and Alvin Kamara. They were just, like, influencing me to come there, (saying) its a great school, great football program. I liked it. It made me feel like I was a priority. I got to talk to Coach (Butch) Jones, and he made me feel like they want me there. He made a strong point on, like, he wants in-state guys. He wants to keep us in-state, and I do think about that a lot.
A couple years ago, they werent in the discussion to be a top-15 team, top-10 team. (I like) just the jump theyve made, he said. "Really, just consistency is what they need. They got off to a great start (this season), so they just really need to find consistency. I mean, they could be in the national championship if they had consistency.
