Underrated 2,000-Yard Rusher Commits to West Virginia

The West Virginia Mountaineers have secured a commitment from running back Jett Walker (6’2″, 215 lbs) of Georgetown, Texas, for their 2026 class, announced on Wednesday.

Walker chose West Virginia over offers from schools including Bowling Green, Charlotte, Dartmouth, Harvard, Marshall, Navy, New Mexico State, Ohio, Rice, San Diego State, Texas State, Tulsa, UNLV, UTEP, UTSA, Yale, and others.

In his sophomore season in 2023, Walker earned the starting role and posted impressive stats with 1,623 yards and 20 touchdowns on 171 carries. But he truly broke out in his junior year, surpassing those numbers with a staggering 2,351 rushing yards and 37 touchdowns. Perhaps most remarkable was his 10.8-yard average per carry, making him an almost guaranteed first down with every rush.

New West Virginia running backs coach Larry Porter, known for his strong recruiting in Texas, has developed many successful backs throughout his career and has a sharp eye for identifying Power Five talent.

Walker is the third recruit to commit to West Virginia’s 2026 class, joining wide receiver Jeffar Jean-Noel and tight end Sam Hamilton.
