Bruce Pearl and Auburn hosted the top-ranked power forward in the 2022 signing class this weekend and, from everything being said, the trip went extremely well.
“I really liked it,” Jarace Walker, a five-star prospect from IMG Academy, said per Auburn Undercover. “I love the town, the campus, the dorms, everything. I am seriously considering Auburn. I like everything about it.”
The No. 7 overall player in his class per 247Sports Composite, Walker’s scouting report reads like a future superstar in the making.
Walker is a strong physical specimen with a cut-up frame and broad shoulders at the hybrid four man spot. He is a nice vertical athlete who can finish emphatically when given the chance and always looks to assert himself on the glass. When Walker steps on the floor, you can expect to get a contribution from him in a lot of ways. He is one of those guys who gets rebounds, assists, and scores. He will need to improve as a shot maker, but he is a versatile four in the making who has both the physical tools and emerging face-up skills that should only continue to blossom at the next level.
Along with the Tigers, Walker is being heavily recruited by Houston, Ohio State, Maryland and Florida State.
