Two-Way UT Martin Forward Who Brings Rebounding, Rim Protection, and Grit
La-Quiem Walker’s best stretch at UT Martin came in the 2020-21 season, when he averaged 14.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game, while ranking fifth nationally in offensive rebounds per game (4.0) and earning All-OVC second team and All-Newcomer honors. He’s a strong fit for a team that wants toughness and activity on both ends: he scores efficiently around the glass, defends with edge, and impacts winning beyond the box score with blocks, steals, and second-chance creation. He looks like a high-motor frontcourt piece who plays bigger than the headline stats.
