Coming out of Sultana High School in Hesperia, California, Waller was a three-star prospect. 247 Sports ranked him as the 90th-best WR in the nation and the 55th-best recruit in the state of California.

For the Sultans, he recorded 2,945 career receiving yards and 41 touchdowns. In his first year with BYU, he didn’t see any time on the field.

He will likely garner some interest in the portal; the list of teams who recruited him out of high school is long and impressive.

Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Arkansas, Arizona State, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Houston, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Utah, and Washington all showed interest in Waller.
