Texas lands 3-star edge Billy Walton, former Oklahoma State commit

A huge week for the Texas Longhorns in recruiting continued on Tuesday as the Longhorns yet another commitment, landing South Oak Cliff edge Billy Walton, a former Oklahoma State Cowboys pledge, following his official visit to the Forty Acres over the weekend.

A 6’2.5, 215-pounder, Walton received his offer from Texas back in January, but opted to commit to Oklahoma State days after a visit to Stillwater in April. The Longhorns kept recruiting Walton, however, securing the only other official visit other than the Cowboys and did enough to convince the consensus three-star prospect to remain in his home state after Walton decommitted from the Cowboys on Monday.
