JORDAN WALSH

Competitive, kind and ready to ball.

About

When Jordan Walsh announced his commitment to the University of Arkansas, he was the highest-ranked available player in the 2022 class. A 6-foot-7 forward from Texas, Jordan attended Link Year Prep in Branson, Missouri. He chose the Razorbacks over Texas, Memphis, Arizona State and Kansas.

Stats

Jordan ranked No.7 overall in the ESPN 100 for the 2022 class, and he is the No. 2 player at his position. He has a 41-inch vertical and a 7-foot-3 wingspan. While in the Drive Nation program on the Nike EYBL circuit, Jordan averaged 12.3 points and 3.3 assists, shooting better than 50% inside the arch.

WHY ARKANSAS?

When asked why he chose to play for the Razorbacks, Jordan told ESPN, “The difference was the coaching staff and especially Coach Musselman. It’s a staff that has NBA experience. The fans are wild and it’s the only game in town. The program competes for championships. I want to win a national championship when I am there.”

PERSONAL

Jordan grew up in Dallas with his mom, dad and twin brother, Joshua. His favorite player is Kevin Durant, and he says he wants to play just like him. Since a very early age, Jordan has struggled with Alopecia. He said while growing up he learned just because he looked different than others, it didn’t mean it was a bad difference. When asked what advice he has for others with Alopecia, he says, “Find something that will help keep your mind off negative thoughts, be yourself at all times and always love yourself.”

Jordan’s Non-Profit

The Jones Center is a regional resource for youth and family recreation programming and for providing programs and facilities in downtown Springdale that bring people from all walks of life together. The 220,000 square-foot facility in Springdale features the region’s only indoor ice arena – an important amenity for the growing community – as well as the Tyson Foods Fitness Center, indoor pools complex, a gymnasium, and conference center. In addition, The Jones Center hosts arts and cultural programming and festivals that highlight the diverse cultures that make up our region, and offers classes for kids in performing arts, sports and STEM areas. Additional facilities around the campus provide housing and collaborative space for regional non-profits. Founded in 1995 by Bernice Jones, a former school teacher and wife of Harvey Jones, founder of Jones Truck Lines, The Jones Center continues to follow her dream of being a community destination where no one would be turned away due to lack of funds. Through the generous support of the Walmart Foundation, The Jones Center provides scholarship programs and activity passes to deserving families.

Jordan will volunteer with The Jones Center in Springdale, AR.

As we advance into the Sweet 16, I can’t help but be grateful for every opportunity I have to step on the court. Without a place like the Jones Center, many of the kids in NWA wouldn’t have a chance to do what they love on the court!
