2023 edge rusher Billy Walton is one of the fastest-rising players in the state, and he’s had a busy last couple of months.
After helping South Oak Cliff win their first state championship in program history, Walton has received offers from the likes of TCU, SMU, Texas A&M and many others.
The three-star from South Oak Cliff picked up an offer from Texas on Thursday.

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. 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.
