Early years
Walker grew up in Waldorf, Maryland and attended North Point High School.[1] He was selected to play in the 2018 US Army All-American Bowl as a senior.[2] Walker was rated a four-star recruit and committed to play college football at Penn State over offers from Ohio State, Maryland, and Virginia Tech.[3]
College career
Walker played in four games during his true freshman season before redshirting the rest of the year.[4] He was named the Nittany Lions' starting left tackle during training camp before his redshirt freshman season and started all 13 of the team's games.[5] Walker was named third-team All-Big Ten Conference after starting all nine of Penn State's games in the team's COVID-19-shortened 2020 season.[6] As a redshirt junior, he started ten games and was named honorable mention All-Big Ten.[7] After the season, Walker announced that he would forgo his remaining collegiate eligibility and enter the 2022 NFL Draft.[8]
