Technically, John Walker plays wide receiver for Plaquemine High.
The reality is he wears many hats.
At his primary position, the 6-foot-1, 180-pounder caught 62 passes for 793 yards and eight touchdowns for the Green Devils last season.
But the UL commitment also ran the ball 41 times for 161 yards and four scores and was even 12-of-19 passes for 115 yards and another score,
"They kind of put me everywhere," said Walker, who grew up playing quarterback and switched to receiver during high school. "I picked up a new role last year, and kind of stepped up as a leader. So I played multiple positions and did whatever the team needed."
Walker's ability to play both the slot and outside receiver spots was an attractive skill to the Cajuns.
He received an offer at a camp last year and Walker was impressed with the way UL recruited him.
"We developed a relationship and they checked on me, came by and checked on me ... really prioritized me, so I decided to commit," Walker said.
As if that's not exciting enough, Walker was elated to get the news last month that he's now going to get five years of eligibility with the NCAA's new age-based eligibility standard.
"I was very happy when that passed," he said. "I had been waiting for that to pass. It's very exciting. I think it's going to be really good for college football."
It's certainly no big secret that UL constantly has its eye on Plaquemine's football program.
Since the days of Brian Mitchell, many Green Devils have become Ragin' Cajuns — from Kevin Dotson to Percy Butler to Andre Riley. Even last season, the Cajuns added star defensive back Rod Bingham to the fold.
"There's just a connection between UL and our community," Walker said. "I've been in contact with all of those guys that went through, so I want to create my own legacy there too."
Walker's most immediate priority, though, is helping the Green Devils make that final push to reach the state finals after two straight state semifinal losses.
"Definitely, we're very hungry," he said. "Really, it's the small things — those little details. We've got to concentrate on doing those things and just finish in the fourth quarter."
For his part, Walker said he's focusing on getting out of his breaks faster and improving his hands catching the ball.
"And I want to continue to grow as a leader," Walker added.
Ayemere is one of three linebackers — also including Landen Ortte of St. Thomas More and Camron Alakija of Crawford High in Texas — on the Cajuns' commitment list.
Overall, Walker is one of 15 current UL commitments.
The other offensive commitments include tight end Bryce Coleman, tackle Adarius Hines of East View High in Texas, tackle Noah Ernst of Angleton High in Texas, tackle Philip Cenac of Vandebilt Catholic, wide receiver Robert Taylor of Ferriday, and quarterback Tam Anderson of West Brook High in Texas
On defense, there's defensive lineman Kobe Smith of Avoyelles, University High's defensive lineman Maison Smith, edge rusher Omosefe Ayemere of Elkins High in Texas, St. Thomas More linebacker Landen Ortte, safety Gavin Cooper from Rummel, safety Jabriran Blake of Wylie High in Texas and cornerback Caleb White of Summer Creek High in Texas.
