2016 No. 1 RB Walker commits to Wolverines

ESPN 300 running back Kareem Walker has committed to Michigan over Arizona State, Auburn and Florida State.

Walker is the No. 1 ranked running back in the 2016 class and gives Michigan nine ESPN 300 commitments.

Walker had initially committed to Ohio State, but he decommitted from the Buckeyes in November after making a visit to Michigan. The Wolverines have been recruiting Walker heavily for quite some time.

After his announcement, Walker spoke with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh on FaceTime to let him know he had committed.

"I felt like it's a great place to play football," Walker said.
