Elite running back Kareem Walker goes Blue

The Wolverines are cleaning up in the state of New Jersey, adding on Thursday afternoon a commitment from Wayne (N.J.) DePaul Catholic elite running back

Kareem Walker.

The 6-1, 210 pound Walker is regarded as the top running back in the nation by both Rivals and ESPN, coming in at No. 2 in the rankings according to Scout and 247 Sports.

The one-time Ohio State pledge reopened his recruitment in early November, taking all five official visits with the plan to reach a final decision. He checked out Ann Arbor for the Wolverines’ home game against Northwestern, then also took trips to Alabama, Auburn, Florida State and Arizona State.
