It’s seem pretty obvious the intent is for this guy to replace Theo at Nickel

Looks good. I was especially impressed with that pass defense vs Duke on the deep corner route

Step brother plays for Vols. Hangs out in Knoxville. Instant starter.

BOOM!!!!

Not sure if he'll be an instant/guaranteed starter...but guy also has 3 years of eligibility. High value long-term add at the least, but he sure could win a starting spot. Hoping he does.

Opinions from abroad:

Definitely will have a chance to compete for a starting job. Tennessee isn't adding anyone from the transfer portal just for depth this year. Last year, the Vols were in a tough spot and just needed to bring in some guys to improve the depth chart. This year, anybody they bring in is probably going to be someone capable of starting.

In Walker's case, I think he could compete to start at either Star or safety. He played both positions at Georgia Tech, but I believe most of his starts were at nickel back.

I don't know that he's a plug-and-play but I think he will come in and be a factor for a starting job. Obviously they have to replace Theo Jackson at the Star spot and he can play there and did at Georgia Tech. Also potentially could play safety.

is it done on a public roadway?

Oh, no. Usually very large, flat, well maintained parking lots or expo centers. Anything paved and large. They are rented out by the leagues. There are some really big leagues in some areas. The overall rules org is SCCA (Sports Car Club of America). The whole thing is very legit.

Good get
Is he fast?
Serious question bc we need some more speed back there and I’m excited to see Charles with another year under his belt

Kind Of reminds of a Earl Thomas like player.

 

[VolInDayton]

Wonder where they will put turnage and hadden?

Wonder where they will put turnage and hadden?

Hadden is CB1 imo. Shocked if Turnage isn't starting nickel and Walker also played safety so if anything he's very maneuverable. This summer and fall camp will be interesting for sure though.

 

[Smokey Pride]

Ga Tech asst coach told me today this guy will be a day one starter for us

 

[F0Rt_V0L]

Somebody on Twitter said it was Tyler Baron’s step brother. Parents live in Knoxville already and he also knows a lot of the players on the team.

 

[chaseasl]

Guy could be a good safety, I’m happy to get him

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Boom!!!! GBO!!!!

 

[allvolrecruiting]

Tyler Baron's stepbrother. Dad is pretty excited. He left UT after this season and doesn't plan on coaching anymore at least team wise. Working camps and such. He facetimed Tyler at a camp I was covering today and Baron didn't even know Walker finally announced his commitment lol. Was kinda cool to be next to him doing that. Hooker was hanging out with Baron. Crouch in Knoxville hanging out with Banks over Crouch's spring break and was surprised that the people here still cared a ton for him. HB doing well out there for UNLV

 

[Weezer]

Will he participate in spring practice?

No. He can't enroll until after the semester.
