Ahmad Walker brings veteran, all-around production to SMU’s defense
In the 2024 season, Ahmad Walker was a full-time starter at linebacker for SMU, posting 92 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 2 forced fumbles, and an interception return for 25 yards, which shows a disruptive, playmaking profile beyond plain tackle volume.[4][1] His value is in his instincts, toughness, and versatility—he has produced at a high level at both Liberty and SMU, earned All-AAC and All-ACC honorable mention recognition, and consistently shows up in big moments. He looks like a strong fit for a team that wants an experienced, physical, assignment-sound linebacker who can diagnose quickly and make impact plays.[4][7]
