Billy Walton III made his mark on the Texas High School Football season.
Billy Walton III might not receive the shine or recognition that other recruits have received. Nevertheless, he was one of the more productive Texas commits in the 2023 recruiting class.
Walton put up crazy numbers for state champion South Oak Cliff Golden Bears. He finished the season with 18 sacks, 100 total tackles and 32 tackles for loss in 14 games played.
Walton concluded his high school career with 39 sacks. As a sophomore he totaled 9 sacks before compiling 12 sacks last season.
The productive edge rusher is rated as a three-star and the No. 466 overall player in the On3 consensus. Albeit, it’s productive players like Walton that become the next Jaylan Ford or Jonathon Brooks at their respective positions.

New Texas running backs coach Tashard Choice was Walton’s primary recruiter at Georiga Tech. That prior relationship should prove to be valuable in the Longhorns recruitment of Walton.
Walton had a monster junior season where he totaled 55 tackles, 21 TFLs and 12 sacks.Ā His 6-foot-3, 230-pound frame projects well to be an effective pass rusher at the next level.
Expect to see many more offers roll in for Walton going into his senior season.
