Walker decommits, likely opens up spot for additional linebacker

FAYETTEVILLE — One of Arkansas’ 2019 commitments is no longer on the list.

Ellenwood (Ga.) Cedar Grove defensive end Dante Walker (6-3, 240) decommitted from the Razorbacks on Tuesday, one day after his chief Arkansas recruiter John Scott Jr. announced he was leaving for South Carolina.

Walker committed to the Razorbacks in October after taking an official visit, but was not allowed to sign during the Dec. 19-21 early period because of questions regarding his academic eligibility.

“Not really pushing JUCO,” Walker tweeted on Tuesday. “But watch this … new chapter is just beginning.”

Arkansas has seven other defensive end signees or commitments in its 2019 class.
