The Tunnel Workers’ Union got a little stronger on Friday, when 5-star offensive tackle Walker Little picked Stanford.
Little picked the Cardinal ahead of top competitor Texas, even after new Longhorns head coach Tom Herman visited Little on December 7.
The consensus five-star recruit is ranked as the 4th-best tackle by 247 Sports and the 6th-best tackle in the nation by Rivals.
Check out some of Little’s highlights right here:
Stanford is still in the running for another premiere tackle prospect, Foster Sarell. Sarell could give the Cardinal the sweep of some premier tackle prospects.
Altogether, this 2017 Stanford recruiting class is shaping up as a small group of elite talents, including #1 ranked QB Davis Mills, #1 ranked TE Colby Parkinson, and #22 ranked WR Osiris St. Brown.
