From football to basketball to academics, Jalon Walker is the total package

Jalon Walker is one of the nation’s top defensive prospects for the 2022 recruiting cycle, a 6-3, 220-pound linebacker who wants to one day help fix the teeth of opponents he’s loosened over the years.

Walker, out of Salisbury (NC), is listed by 247Sports as the No. 2 prospect in the state of North Carolina and the No. 4 overall outside linebacker nationally. The 4-star has offers from the nation’s best programs, including Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Oregon.

Walker hasn’t been able to assume the normal role of a recruit during the pandemic, but he’s doing the best he can with the tools available and has developed a great relationship with the Clemson defensive coaches.
