A day after entering the NCAA transfer portal, Wake Forest running back Kenneth Walker III announced on Twitter that he had committed to Michigan State.
The former two-star recruit from Arlington, Tennessee, in the 2019 class ran for 579 yards and 13 touchdowns in just seven games in 2020, deciding to opt out of Wake Forest’s final two games.
As a freshman in 2019, Walker ran for 579 yards and four touchdowns, including eight carries for 24 yards with one reception for two yards against Michigan State in the Pinstripe Bowl. He also returned three kickoffs in that game for an average of 19.
