Gophers flip big running back Jett Walker from West Virginia
Texas prep running back Jett Walker flipped his commitment from West Virginia to the Gophers on Monday.
The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder from Georgetown, Texas had been committed to the Mountaineers since April, but switched his pledge to Minnesota after a visiting during the 23-20 win over Michigan State last weekend.
The three-star prospect with over 5,000 career rushing yards had other offers from Houston, San Diego State, UNLV, Charlotte and others.
Walker, who is also a track athlete, is the 26th commitment in the U’s class for 2026. Missouri receiver Braiden Stevens committed to Minnesota earlier Monday.
