Kareem Walker, the Wayne (N.J.) DePaul Catholic four-star senior ranked the No. 1 running back by multiple recruiting services, committed to Michigan today at a news conference. Walker is an Under Armour All-American.
The second elite commitment in as many days — Michigan landed four-star linebacker Devin Bush Jr. out of Florida on Wednesday — Walker becomes the school’s highest-profile recruit in a hotbed state and, according to recruiting services Scout.com and Rivals.com, was expected to vault U-M’s 2016 class to No. 1.
Walker is the No. 2 player in New Jersey (No. 38 nationally on 247Sports.com) and becomes Michigan’s fourth player from the state, a sign of the impact of player personnel director/interim linebackers coach Chris Partridge, who was a high school coach in the state until coming to U-M in January. (The No. 1 player in New Jersey is Paramus Catholic defensive tackle Rashan Gary, who also is No. 1 overall in the country and has Michigan in the mix.)
