This kid looks good on film. Big and physical, definitely an SEC athlete. Looks like Brandon Jacobs at RB, might wanna take a look at him there.

LB Jonathan Walton (6-1 225) of Mobile, AL committed to Penn State in early December after an official visit to Happy Valley. But he was offered earlier this week by USC linebackers coach Kirk Botkin and will take an official visit to USC in January on a date still to be determined. “I stand pretty strong with Penn State which was one of the first schools to get on me,” Walton said. “I’ve gotten pretty close with the coaching staff and the players. I wish I had gotten an SEC offer early. South Carolina runs a strong defense. They are a good program with a good coaching staff.” Walton can play inside or outside linebacker and talked with Botkin about USC’s needs. “He’s looking at me to play inside or outside, a little bit more outside,” he said. “They have a depth problem at linebacker. I run to the ball well and have good ball instincts. I’m big and can move.” Walton said he’s not sure what it would take for USC to turn him, but comfort level will be key. “I’m pretty set with Penn State unless I feel it’s (USC) the best place for me,” he said. “That’s the whole point in taking an official.” Walton has also visited Minnesota but the Gophers are not a factor. He also has offers from Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana Tech, South Alabama, UAB and Troy. He’s also drawn interest from Auburn, Mississippi State and Ole Miss.

I think we're going to turn this one.

Gamecockfanatic4 · 01-04-2013, 09:11 PM

coming Jan. 18th for OV

He hurdled a would-be tackler in both his junior and senior highlights. This dude would be an amazing steal for us.

ELCID14 · 01-05-2013, 08:01 PM

X factor? CLOWNEY.......I have a feeling this is the type of kid that sees the big picture.. Jadeveon

Nice to see Botkin doing work.

b381l · 01-05-2013, 10:12 PM

Yes he has done a good job. He was the one that didn't like Rolin at LB.

jfbreb94 · 01-05-2013, 10:21 PM

Come on down.

FilchCock · 01-06-2013, 12:05 AM

Kid sure does pass the eye test

LB Jonathan Walton of Mobile, AL met with USC linebackers coach Kirk Botkin Friday and set his official visit to USC for January 18th. “I think the meeting went well,” Walton said. “I get along well with coach Botkin.” Auburn also visited with Walton today. He has been committed to Penn State and, for now, is holding to that. “I feel like I’m pretty solid but I’m still looking for the best fit for me, the best home,” Walton said. “I feel like Penn State is but I’ve never been to Columbia and won’t know if it is until I visit.” Walton has taken official visits to Penn State and Minnesota and is not sure if he’ll take others. He’s waiting to see what other offers come in before deciding on other visits.

Would be a great, solid pickup in a great area of need. Hope the visit goes well. It's nice to see he's got a good rapport with Botkin and is open about his options…reall, really open for being a commit somewhere else for sure.

I don't like that Auburn is sniffing around.

SwimCock · 01-06-2013, 07:44 PM

At PSU, he will rarely, if ever, play in a bowl game or contend for a championship of any kind. Plus, the HC will move on after next season if they do reasonably well, so the entire staff could change.

For sure.

I can see Auburn coming in late with an offer and landing him.

My response to losing Dalton would be a solid 'meh.'

Nothing else....

usc1 · 01-10-2013, 08:17 PM

Should be a pretty easy choice between AU and us. Plenty of PT here for a winning team in contention.

Play on an average AU team with little less potential for PT.

2spurs · 01-10-2013, 08:19 PM

Actually he has also picked up an offer from UT (Tenn.) as well.
