The South Carolina Gamecocks scored a major recruiting win last week by flipping four-star EDGE Julian Walker from a Michigan commitment. Walker, who had previously been set on joining the Wolverines, ultimately chose the Gamecocks, even over a late push from North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick. The announcement came just two days before Walker and his Dutch Fork Silver Foxes secured the 5A Division-I state title, marking the program’s fourth consecutive championship. Following the win, Dutch Fork head coach Tom Knotts shared his thoughts into the final stages of Walker’s recruitment during a postgame interview with WACH Fox’s Claire Foley.
