Deone Walker, 4-star defensive lineman, signs with Kentucky

The most important uncommitted Kentucky target gave the Wildcat coaching staff some great news on Wednesday morning: Deone Walker has signed on the dotted line and will make Lexington his new home.

A behemoth of a defensive lineman, clocking in at 6-foot-6, 360 pounds, Walker is a four-star recruit, according to the On3 Consensus. He's considered a top 300 prospect in the country and a top 35 defensive lineman. The Detroit native is also ranked as one of the five best high school seniors from the state of Michigan.

Kentucky was able to nab Walker and keep him away from the hometown Michigan Wolverines, which was right there with the 'Cats until the very end.
