Explosive Ex-RB Transitioning to WR for Gardner-Webb
Chance Walker, a former standout Newberry College running back who exploded for 261 rushing yards and a program-record six TDs in a single game (per WLTX News 19), has switched to wide receiver at Gardner-Webb, logging 1 reception for 12 yards in limited 2025 action (ESPN stats). His differentiator? Elite speed and elusiveness from RB days—think SAC's 6th in rushing yards (731) and 7th in YPG (66.5) in 2019—now fueling big-play potential as a WR. No major injury flags; his Swansea grit and record-breaking intensity make him a dynamic fit for teams craving versatile speed threats.
