I had no idea Walker was coming back. When I checked Morgan State stats for last season and saw that he did not play I assumed he had graduated. He must have sat out a season with an injury???
Okay--here's the story on this small (5-6, 190) but outstanding running back. Not only did he not graduate, he's just a junior--red shirted last season. Info below from the Morgan State site:
