rising Nevada corner with starter upside and preseason buzz
In the 2025 season, Aiden Walker played in 11 games with two starts and finished with 24 tackles and one tackle for loss, then entered the 2026 season as a sophomore cornerback on Nevada’s All-Mountain West preseason team. Nevada coverage described him as a fast, athletic outside corner with a strong feel for the finer points of the position, which is a nice combo for a DB who already showed he can handle multiple roles. At 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, he looks like a fit for a team that values instincts, speed, and reliable tackling over pure size.
