The Gophers football program lost a second high school recruit to the Texas Longhorns on Sunday.

Three-star running back Jett Walker from Georgetown, Texas, flipped his commitment from the U to an in-state SEC school. He followed Portage, Mich., tight end Charlie Jilek, who changed his mind from Minnesota to Texas last week.

“Staying Home!!” Walker wrote on X after a visit to the Austin campus this weekend.

The Gophers got Walker, who is listed at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, as a flipped commitment from West Virginia on Nov. 3.

Minnesota now sits at 30 total commitments for its 2026 class. The early signing period starts Dec. 3.
