According to Steve Williams, 4-Star Athlete JR Walker (6’1”/205) will be taking an unofficial visit to NC State with his new Clayton High teammate, and NC State Commit, 4-Star defensive end Savion Jackson.

This will be the third time that Walker has visited NC State in the month of June alone.

Walker recently transferred from Northeastern High to Clayton High, joining NC State Commit Savion Jackson.

At Northeastern last season, Walker rushed for over 1,019 yards (14.4 yards per carry) and intercepted 7 passes (Free Safety).

NC State offered Walker on December 5, 2016, and he revealed the Wolfpack to be his top team back at the beginning of March of this year. On May 4th, Walker revealed his Top 5 schools: NC State, UNC, Duke, South Carolina, Virginia Tech.

Walker is also connected to another major NC State 2019 recruiting target in 4-Star LB/DE Traveon Freshwater. They were teammates at Northeastern the past three seasons, and grew up as best friends, playing pop warner football together as kids. Rivals ranks Freshwater as the #168 player overall in 2019, the #7 weakside defensive end, and the #5 player in North Carolina.

As recently as this month, Walker has gone on the record saying that NC State is still his leader.

Here are Walker’s Junior Highlights from Northeastern.
