One of the top Indiana high school quarterbacks saw his senior season come to an end way too early this year.

Terry Walker III, who transferred to Hamilton Southeastern High School for his senior year, suffered a torn ACL during second half action recently against Fishers. The Royals saw their three-game win streak come to an end, falling ot Fishers, 28-16.

“I want to thank everybody who has believed in me throughout my (four) years of high school football,” Walker posted on X (formerly known as Twitter). “From the Hamilton Southeastern community, staff, coaches, players and fans to those alike at Lawrence Central. I gave it everything I had for (four) years and I can proud say that my head held high.

“Last Friday in our game against our rivals at Fishers High School I tore my ACL. Due to that I am deeply saddened to announce that unfortunately that was my last high school football game and I will be missing the rest of the 2025-26 football season due to injury.”
