This video from the Inside Texas Football YouTube channel focuses on the recent commitment of Jett Walker, a highly productive running back from Georgetown, Texas, to the Texas Longhorns football program. Originally committed to Minnesota, Walker switched his pledge to Texas, motivated by a desire to stay close to home and wear the Burnt Orange. The discussion highlights how Texas initially planned to sign only one running back in the 2026 recruiting class—Derek Cooper—but with Walker’s addition, they now have a two-back class that balances different running styles.

Walker’s recruitment was influenced significantly by Chad Scott, a Texas coach with prior connections to Walker dating back to his recruitment at West Virginia. Walker is described as a durable, strong, and versatile back with a ground-and-pound style that complements Cooper’s more explosive athleticism.

The video also touches on Walker’s local ties and his familiarity with Texas football culture, having grown up watching the Longhorns and living nearby. Walker’s rankings vary across recruiting services, but his value lies not just in his athletic ability but also in his leadership and readiness to contribute.
