Jalon Walker Decision Coming Soon

SI99 Candidate and North Carolina prospect Jalon Walker is set to make his college commitment Sunday. He previews the decision here.

At 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, Jalon Walker is a true physical presence on the football field. With the length to potentially be an edge defender on the college level, Walker has b been exceptional as an off-ball linebacker and that's where he will likely make his biggest impact early in college. 

We caught up with Walker prior to his commitment announcement on Sunday afternoon to find out where his head was at headed into the big decision. 

Walker said he's known where he will be going to college for a week or so. 

He said, "I made my mind up last week. I don't think I could be going into a commitment without fully knowing."

Walker seemed to be completely comfortable with his decision upon speaking to Dawgs Daily on SI.com. 

And though Walker has a top six of Clemson, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, North Carolina and Auburn, he told Dawgs Daily that this decision came down to three schools: Clemson, North Carolina and Georgia. 

Walker is set to make his commitment Sunday at 2:15 pm ET on CBSSportsHQ. 

As for the player that Walker is, sources close to the situation tell Dawgs Daily that Walker is being recruited to Georgia as an inside linebacker that will also have the ability to rush the passer. 

He's a physical clone of some of the linebackers they've signed in recent memory. Walker has an identical frame to both Smael Mondon and Xavian Sorey from the 2021 signing class. 

If he were to commit to Georgia, Walker would be the 11th commit in the class of 2021 and the second SI All-American candidate to do so in a matter of four days, as the athletic Malaki Starks announced his commitment to Georgia Thursday night.
