West Palm Beach (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna Prep three-star offensive tackle Ashley Walker has committed to Arkansas, he announced Wednesday morning.

He chose the Razorbacks over an offer list that includes Ole Miss, Georgia, Syracuse, Pitt, Kentucky and others.

Walker is the No. 96 OT and No. 140 player in Florida in the 2026 cycle, per the On300. He is currently the No. 1,264 overall prospect in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The 6-foot-7, 290-pounder picked up an offer from the SEC program in January. He made his way to Fayetteville for a spring trip in March and has also locked in an official visit for next month. He’ll return as a member of head coach Sam Pittman’s pledge list.

Walker plays for one of the top high school football programs in the Sunshine State. Dominating the trenches, he helped Chaminade-Madonna compile 15 wins and another state title last season. The Lions finished as the No. 13 team nationally and the top-ranked team in Florida, per the On3 Composite Rankings.

Razorbacks up to 15 commits this cycle

With Walker now in the fold, Arkansas’ 2026 class features 15 commits and ranks No. 30 nationally, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. That’s good for No. 11 in the SEC, ahead of Vandy, Mississippi State, Mizzou, Florida and Kentucky.

Durant (Okla.) four-star EDGE Colton Yarbrough is the top-ranked member of the class, checking in as the No. 342 recruit and No. 37 EDGE overall. He and Lawton (Okla.) MacArthur three-star safety Adam Auston each committed on Aug. 3 last summer.

Texarkana (Texas) Liberty-Eylau four-star wide receiver Dequane Prevo and Pflugerville (Texas) four-star tight end Jaivion Martin are other blue-chippers in the fold. Martin is the No. 17 TE in the cycle, while Prevo is a top-60 prospect at receiver.

“I have known coach Sam Pittman for a long time and that relationship was key,” Prevo told On3’s Chad Simmons. “Arkansas offered me early and I have been talking with coach Pittman for a few years now. He is a great man, he is a great coach and he cares about his players. Our relationship is great.”

Other top commits in the class include: San Diego University City three-star safety Tay Lockett, Farmerville (La.) Union Parish three-star interior offensive lineman Ari Slocum, Elgin (S.C.) Gaffney three-star quarterback Jayvon Gilmore, Valdosta (Ga.) three-star cornerback Jalon Copeland and Hot Springs (Ark.) Lakeside three-star IOL Tucker Young.
