JORDAN WALSH
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, βThe difference was the coaching staff and especially Coach Musselman. Itβs a staff that has NBA experience. The fans are wild and itβs the only game in town. The program competes for championships. I want to win a national championship when I am there.β
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 didnβt mean it was a bad difference. When asked what advice he has for others with Alopecia, he says, βFind something that will help keep your mind off negative thoughts, be yourself at all times and always love yourself.β

I want to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation to Razorback Nation for your unwavering love and support throughout this journey. It was a tough game against UConn, much respect. Even with a tough loss, the way y`all cheered us walking off the court didn`t go unnoticed. Thank you π #WPS #RazorbackNation #MarchMadness ππΎ
