As the countdown to college football begins and all eyes turn toward the hills, at least one Little Rock family will be looking to the Plains as former Little Rock Christian Academy quarterback Walker White begins his freshman season at Auburn.
A nationally ranked recruit, Walker received more than 30 collegiate offers. Clemson and Baylor were among the top contenders, but it was Auburn who won him over.
“I chose Auburn ultimately because the Lord directed my heart there,” Walker says. “I absolutely fell in love with Auburn the very first visit.”
Walker comes from a long line of athletes. One of five children, his family is a source of constant encouragement.
“We’ve trained our kids to be dedicated to excellence,” says Walker’s mom, Amy. “Get there early, stay late, be an encouragement to your team.”
This commitment was evident throughout Walker's career. Beyond his strengths as a player, others are quick to point to actions off the field that set him apart.
“I have never coached an athlete with the drive and work ethic of Walker White,” says LRCA Quarterbacks Coach Boyd Boshears. “He is a natural leader among his friends and teammates.”
Walker graduated early and moved to Auburn in January, eager to take on a new chapter.
“To be a part of Auburn and experience my first season with them will be something I will forever remember,” Walker says. “I hope to be the best teammate I can possibly be by serving my team and encouraging others.”
“I have never coached an athlete with the drive and work ethic of Walker White.”
