Auburn is keeping things in the family after adding the transfer commitment of Rico Walker.
Rico is the son of former Auburn defensive tackle Ricardo Walker, who played for the program in the 1990s. Walker played in 8 games this season for Maryland, totaling 27 yards on 4 receptions. Walker took a visit to Auburn recently on Thursday.
He was a former 4-star athlete in the 2023 class out of Hickory (N.C.) High School. The 247Sports Composite rated him as the No. 10 athlete and No.7 prospect in the state. It was hard to for Walker to see the field much behind the likes of Corey Dyches and Preston Howard with the Terps.
