elite FCS disruptor with NFL-ready motor and production
Walker earned national attention at Central Arkansas by pairing rare pass-rush production with strong run defense, finishing his 2024 season with 68 tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 10.5 sacks and 4 forced fumbles while winning the Buck Buchanan Award as the FCS’s top defender.[2][5][11] Evaluators praised his explosive first step, high-pressure impact and “historically productive” profile, with some ranking his 2024 pass-rush and run-defense grades among the best in all of college football.[2][8][10] He also brings intensity and consistency, but his NFL start has been slowed by an ACL tear in training camp.[4][14]
