Less than a week after Notre Dame landed a commitment from its quarterback of the class of 2022, the Irish pulled in their first receiver pledge of the cycle on Wednesday morning. Consensus three-star receiver Amorion Walker (Ponchatoula High School; La.) may not warrant much recruiting rankings buzz, but Notre Dame’s focus on him comes with reason, and the lack of hype may be little more than a pandemic side effect.
Walker did not get the chance to shine in recruiting camps before his junior season — most any camps held were focused on the rising high school seniors, even more so than usual — and a hamstring injury limited him to only three games in the fall.
