Both Jarace Walker and Under Armour look forward to pulling from a collective experience to chart a new course for up-and-coming athletes.
"My journey with Under Armour and IMG Academy has been so positive and I'm excited to bring those same opportunities to kids in my community and around the world."
Jarace Walker, Professional Basketball Player and Under Armour Athlete
Drafted in the first round of the 2023 NBA draft, Jarace Walker was the 8th pick overall. But the star quality that coaches picked up on didn't happen overnight. Born in Baltimore, it wasn't long until Jarace Walker's passion for basketball connected him to Under Armour. Walker would become a part of Under Armour's premier grassroots basketball program-the Under Armour Next UAA circuit-and lead Team Thrill to victory for four years. Later, he attended IMG Academy, an Under Armour-sponsored high school, and worked hard to better himself on and off the court. Most recently, Jarace shared his skills and expertise with the next generation of basketball athletes as a leader and coach at the 2023 Under Armour Elite 24 event.

While this marks the beginning of Jarace Walker's time as an official Under Armour athlete, it's clear that the grit it takes to succeed and the heart that's required to go far in sports has been with him from the beginning. Walker and Under Armour have made a name for themselves in Baltimore and grown alongside each other all these years-now they get to show what each foundational moment and gametime decision has done for them.

"It's not often that we get the privilege to work with an athlete from day one and see them rise to every challenge. We're thrilled to have Jarace continue to represent what it means to be an Under Armour athlete."
Sean Eggert, SVP, Global Sports Marketing at Under Armour
Powered by shared roots and years of collaboration, this partnership allows Walker and Under Armour to continue to create a positive impact for future athletes. Under Armour is proud to support Jarace Walker and everything he represents each time he steps onto the court. Now, it's official.
