Walker began his career at Georgia Tech from 2019-2021 before Tennessee.
While plenty of former players in the secondary have left Rocky Top, there have been a couple of new additions, however. Former Oregon State corner Jermod McCoy committed to Tennessee on Wednesday. Former MTSU DB was Jakobe Thomas originally committed to Oregon State, but later flipped to the Vols on Saturday.
Walker was a former 3-star prospect out of Nashville (Tenn.) Ensworth. Tennessee has DBs Kaleb Beasley, Boo Carter, and Edrees Farooq as signees from the 2024 class.
