Georgetown, Texas – Jett Walker, a senior running back at Georgetown High School, has been making headlines throughout the 2023 football season with his remarkable performance on the field. Having rushed for over 2,300 yards and scored 38 total touchdowns last season, Walker earned the title of District 8-5A MVP, contributing significantly to the team’s success, which included ten victories and a trip to the second round of the playoffs.
Walker’s physical playing style is a key component of his performance, as he emphasizes the need for a “mean” approach on the field. This aggressive attitude complements his dynamic abilities, including what he describes as “deceivingly fast” speed when in open space. This season alone, Walker has already accumulated 2,037 rushing yards through ten games, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most dominant running backs in the Austin area.
As the Georgetown Eagles prepare for their upcoming playoff game against Reedy High School on Friday, November 22, at 7:00 p.m. CT, expectations remain high for the team in the next season. With Walker and several other talented players returning, many are anticipating a high-powered offense bolstered by the players’ increased experience from the prior season.
In their final regular season game against Cedar Park, the Eagles secured a decisive victory with a score of 31-7. Walker was instrumental to this win, rushing for 294 yards and scoring four touchdowns. This victory not only solidified their district title but also showcased Walker’s capabilities under pressure.
This will mark Walker’s third playoff appearance. He previously participated in the playoffs during his sophomore and junior years while playing for Lampasas. Although he admits to feeling nervous during his first playoff experience, he now expresses confidence in his abilities and considers himself among the best running backs in Central Texas.
Despite Walker’s stellar performance, the playoff landscape may shift significantly due to the absence of Cedar Park’s star running back, Trae Hill, who is currently out due to an injury. Cedar Park Coach Michael Quintero has indicated that Hill’s return is uncertain and is being evaluated week by week, which could affect the team’s dynamics in the upcoming playoff matchups.
As for Walker’s future, he has attracted significant recruiting attention from college programs, ultimately deciding to commit to West Virginia University. He praises Morgantown as a “true college town” with impressive facilities and expresses optimism about his future career under head coach Rich Rodriguez.
With the Georgetown Eagles set for a playoff run, fans and followers of high school football are eager to see how Walker and his teammates will perform. The upcoming game against Reedy High School will be available for streaming on the NFHS Network, bringing live high school sports into homes across the country. As the postseason approaches, Walker’s journey continues to inspire both players and supporters in Georgetown and beyond.
