WALKER TO COMMIT JULY 28
One of Ohio State’s highest priority defensive lineman targets has narrowed his recruitment down to five teams. Four-star Florida 2023 prospect John Walker announced a top five Friday of Ohio State, Florida, Michigan, UCF and Miami.

The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Walker recently took an official visit to Ohio State June 24-26, and the Buckeyes are believed to be in a strong position to land the projected inside defensive tackle. Walker was originally eying a decision in October, but OSU will now only have to wait a few weeks to find out if it has done enough to land the top-100 talent.
