Demarcus Walker ignored warning
Alabama coaches told Watch List DE things would get crazy and now he knows why

Jacksonville (Fla.) Sandalwood defensive lineman Demarcus Walker knew things might get a little crazy, but he never expected his recruitment to turn into a nationwide battle.

However, he was warned about what could happen.

"Coach [Jeremy] Pruitt at Alabama said everything would change once they offered me," Walker said. "And he was absolutely right. Once the Alabama offer came, things got real crazy."

Suddenly, nearly every top program in the nation made offers and his phone rings constantly every day. But despite all of the inconveniences, Walker, a member of the ESPNU Watch List, doesn't seem to be fazed by all of the attention.

"It's been more than I could have ever dreamed," said Walker, who recently accepted an invitation to play in the 2013 Under Armour All-America Game. "It's really been a blessing and an honor to be treated like this."

At 6 feet, 4 inches and 260 pounds, Walker fits the mold of the modern-day defensive end. He had 24 tackles for loss and 14 sacks as a junior, despite facing constant double-teams.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- ESPNU 150 Watch List prospect Demarcus Walker (Jacksonville, Fla./Sandalwood) visited Florida Saturday for its annual spring game, and the 6-foot-3, 255-pound defensive end said he enjoyed his trip to Gainesville.

"It went pretty good," Walker said. "I was able to come down and have fun with my friends Nick [Washington] and Ahmad [Fulwood]. It was good. They need some rushers. They explained that to me. I could probably make a difference."

In addition to his Florida offer, Walker also holds offers from Alabama, Auburn, USC and Arkansas. Walker declined to name a leader, but said the Gators are in good position for him.
