COMMITMENT PROFILE
A year ago at this time, Wayne
(N.J.) DePaul Catholic running back
Kareem Walker appeared destined to
become a Buckeye. While Ohio State
was on its way to a 42-20 victory over
Oregon in the national championship
game on Jan. 12, 2015, he announced
his intentions to head to Columbus
via Twitter. Less than a year later, he
was a Wolverine.
"It was real hard," Walker said of
the decision to flip from OSU to U-M.
"Michigan has been in the mix longer
than anyone, even when I was com-
mitted to Ohio State. They've really
been in the mix longer than others,
and I just feel really comfortable with
the coaches and the players there."
