After committing to Mississippi State on Saturday, it took less than two days for 4-star guard Jaykwon Walton to reverse his decision and re-open his recruitment. Head coach Ben Howland is still searching for his first commitment of the 2019 class.
Walton, 6’6”, 196 lbs. shooting guard from Carver, Alabama, is ranked by 247Sports as the nation’s seventh best player in his position.
Evan Daniels of 247Sports and Fox Sports first broke the news, then Mississippi State insider Paul Jones confirmed it on his Twitter.
