The first national signing day for college football is Wednesday, December 3. This series will give you the chance to familiarize yourself with the next class charged with keeping Texas near the top of the college football world.
To win at a consistently high level requires talented class after talented class. The top-10 2026 class does that following a No. 1 class in 2025.
On the first national signing day, Inside Texas will offer profiles of each member of the 2026 signing class. Up next, Jett Walker.
The Player: Jett Walker, RB, Georgetown (Texas)
The Rating: 87.37 (three-star)
The Ranking: Walker is the No. 742 overall prospect, the No. 46 running back, and the No. 99 player in Texas in the Rivals Industry Ranking. Rivals ranks Walker was the No. 37 running back and the No. 80 player in Texas.
The Highlights:
The Recruitment: Walker and RB coach Chad Scott had a previous connection from Scott’s West Virginia days. Once Scott took the job in Austin, they stayed in touch. Once a spot opened up in the RB room, they sealed the deal. Walker was no nonsense through the process which included pledges to WVU and Minnesota. He’s tallied over 5,100 yards and 70 touchdowns over his career. Last season, he netted 2,351 yards and 37 touchdowns on 217 carries.
The Quote: “I know I’m a physical runner and I think it would be a good fit for some of the things (Texas) does up front.”

The Projection: “Walker is a bruising, physical runner who also brings legitimate breakaway speed. He shows impressive patience behind the line of scrimmage, letting blocks develop before attacking the crease with quick feet and sudden burst. Once he hits the hole, he accelerates with authority and welcomes contact. Walker consistently runs behind his pads, finishes forward, and often breaks the first tackle.
He’s more than a power option, too. Walker can catch the football out of the backfield and extend drives as a reliable receiving threat. He finished his high school career with close to 6,000 rushing yards, a testament to his production, durability, and impact over four seasons.
At 6’2”, 215 pounds, Walker looks like the prototype short-yardage and goal-line back. But make no mistake—his vision, balance, and burst allow him to be effective on first and second down, giving Texas a potential every-down option if called upon.” – Charlie Williams

The Final Word: Flipping Walker was important once Texas needed another tailback in the 2026 cycle. Strong, productive, close to home with a penchant for finding the end zone. A lifelong Texas fan, the three-star Cen-Tex product is living his dream. He’ll enroll next month.
