Yes to both.

He was a stud out of Detroit, who was poised to follow in DC's / JDub's footsteps as the next great 44 in program history.  He was both a Parade AA and a McD's all-american as a senior in HS, and a top 10 recruit overall.

But he was borderline academically, and hadn't been able to achieve a high enough qualifying score on the SAT after numerous tries.

Then, he finally passed, and was cleared to enroll at SU.  He did, but by October the NCAA flagged his score for being suspicious due to how much it had improved relative to the first couple of times he'd taken the test.  In the end, it appeared that somebody else had taken the standardized test, pretending to be him.  Walton denied those allegations, and was given another chance to take the test to prove that he could get a qualifying score.  He didn't, and had to leave SU as a prop 48 casualty.
