Mississippi CB Jordan Walley commits to Minnesota
Mississippi cornerback Jordan Walley made his decision official on Sunday as the three-star prospect announced that he will be a Golden Gopher at the collegiate level.
The younger brother of former Golden Gopher Justin Walley, Jordan, commits to the Gophers after taking an official visit to the Twin Cities this weekend.
The D’Iberville, Mississippi native also held Power Four offers from Kansas State, Missouri, and in-state Ole Miss before his decision. Minnesota was his lone official visit.
While Walley will be a cornerback for the Golden Gophers, he is best described as an athlete for D’Iberville, where he played both cornerback and quarterback.
As a quarterback, he threw for over 1,300 yards and five touchdowns while also recording 107 carries for over 770 yards and 16 touchdowns. Defensively, he totaled 31 tackles, four pass breakups, and one interception.
A strong athlete, Walley possesses a sub-4.5 forty-yard dash time while being listed at 5-foot-10 and 165 pounds.
Walley is the second Mississippi native to commit to Minnesota this cycle, joining running back Greg Hargrow. He is also the program’s second cornerback commitment, joining in-state prospect Zak Walker (Moorhead, MN) in the class. He is the program’s 17th commitment overall.
