The top prep shooting guard of the South has found a new home. M.J. Walker announced his commitment to Florida State on Wednesday, choosing the Seminoles over a group that included Ohio State, UCLA and Kansas.
Walker, who stars at Jonesboro High School in Georgia, is the No. 29 overall prospect and fourth-ranked shooting guard in the country, per Scout.com.
For most of the process, Maryland was considered a favorite for the 4-star prospect. 247Sports' crystal ball predictions gave the Terrapins the greatest chance to land Walker before his senior season. Ohio State and Florida State were also considered contenders as Walker identified them as the three schools that recruited him most.
