Jalon Walker, an elite 4-star linebacker recruit out of Salisbury, North Carolina, posted his top six college choices in a tweet published Friday afternoon.

 In what has become a familiar pattern, Walker listed five schools spread across the south with memberships in the ACC or SEC conferences, and just one school up north, the Ohio State Buckeyes of the Big Ten, making the final cut.

Walker will ostensibly choose between Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia of the SEC. North Carolina or Clemson of the ACC. And Ohio State. 

Walker is listed at 6’2″ and 220 pounds and plays for Salisbury High School.

He is the no. 2 prospect in the state of North Carolina and the 41st ranked player overall in the class of 2020.
