Devon Walker Commits to SMU
Devon Walker, a Class of 2025 wide receiver from Myers Park High School, has committed to Southern Methodist University. The 4A standout chose SMU due to its passing-heavy offense, which aligns with his skills as a receiver. Walker also cited the opportunity to contribute immediately as a freshman, as SMU's receiving corps is expected to be depleted due to graduation. Additionally, he praised SMU's strong academic program, which will provide him with the resources he needs to succeed in the classroom. Walker had previously committed to another program but reopened his recruitment in April, allowing him to explore other options. He ultimately chose SMU for its athletic and academic fit, as well as its proximity to his home in Charlotte, North Carolina. Walker's commitment to SMU adds to the Mustangs' growing reputation as a pipeline for top talent in the state.
