Jett Walker sets date for Texas visit

As the Longhorns look to secure their eighth win of the season this weekend, they will have a special guest in attendance. The Longhorns are set to welcome Minnesota commit Jett Walker to campus. While the talented running back committed to the Golden Gophers earlier this month, he has not closed the door to other possibilities.
Currently, the Texas native is ranked as the 74th best running back in his class by 247Sports. They also rank him as the172nd best player from Texas. During his recruitment, Walker has drawn interest from some of the nation's top programs, including West Virginia, Houston, and Bowling Green. The focus for Texas this weekend will be to make him an offer he can't refuse.
The interest in Walker comes as no surprise after what he did last year. The Georgetown High star recorded 2,351 rushing yards while averaging just over ten yards a carry. He also found the end zone 37 times on the ground and was a threat in the passing game with 74 receiving yards on seven catches.
If Walker were to flip his commitment to join the Longhorns, he would be part of a talented 2026 class. Texas has already secured commitments from five-star recruits Dia Bell and Jermaine Bishop. They will be joined by four-star recruits Tyler Atkinson, Kosi Okpala, Richard Wesley, Samari Matthews, and Derek Cooper. 247Sports ranks the Longhorns' 2026 class as the ninth best in the nation.

With the Longhorns in need of depth in the backfield, adding Walker to the mix would cross one item off their list. It is an encouraging sign that Walker is willing to visit campus. After one of their worst losses of the season, Texas will be even more motivated to put together a dominant performance with Walker on the sidelines.
