Entering Wednesday, just three of the
247Sports Top 50 prospects were undecided on their college future.
Make that two, as
M.J. Walker of
Jonesboro (Ga.) delivered a pledge to Florida State during a ceremony held at the school.
The Georgia star was the second-highest rated prospect remaining on the board behind
Brian Bowen of
La Lumiere (LaPorte, Ind.).
Walker, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard, is regarded as the No. 26 overall prospect in the senior class by 247Sports.
Ready-made for the college game from a physical standpoint, Walker put together a resume at Jonesboro that few of his peers could match.
Walker averaged 27.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game as a senior, leading the Cardinals to a 23-6 record.
Jonesboro went 110-18 in Walker's four years in the lineup with state titles in 2014 and 2015.
Florida State won out over Georgia Tech, Ohio State, UCLA and Virginia Tech.
