Yakiri Walker brings veteran center strength and plug-and-play toughness to Memphis
In the 2025 season, Yakiri Walker started every game for Memphis at center and logged 881 snaps, showing rare durability and valuable experience for an offensive line anchor.[9][10] His profile is built on steadiness and versatility after stops at UConn and Colorado, but the tape is a mixed bag: solid pass protection grades, more modest run-blocking production, and some penalty issues. He looks like a reliable, battle-tested interior lineman who can stabilize a front, especially for a team that values toughness and game-day availability.[10][14]
