"It's always good talking to those guys. I talk to coach Jones the most. He messages me and I get back to him so for the most part it's the head coach," Walker explained. Walker admitted it's unique that a head coach like Jones has taken over the reigns of his recruitment but likes it that way, too. "It feels good. It's the head coach recruiting you and it's not like the others, even though it's not a problem, but it's just different when it's the head guy," Walker said.
It's not just Tennessee's staff that has made the No. 1-ranked running back a priority, but also his friend and Tennessee quarterback commitment Jarrett Guarantano. The two have been friends for years and the New Jersey signal caller wants to finally team up with him in college.
"He just told me I should just come out and check it out," Walker explained. "The campus is beautiful and they have a lot to offer off the field in terms of academics. He said we could both be stars there starting as freshmen and do big things together."
"I'm 100 percent committed Ohio State," Walker said. "When I'm on my visits I talk to the coaches and coach Meyer is aware of what's going on. They trust me and I trust them." But, even with that firm commitment, Walker said he wants to see what Tennessee has to offer. "I just want to see what it's like," Walker said. "It's always good just to see something different. There's never nothing wrong with that. I just want to see what it's like down there."
