Walker’s journey from West Charlotte High School has been winding, but his case is straightforward enough. After his enrollment at East Tennessee State was deferred due to a knee injury in 2019, he enrolled at NC Central in 2020. Then, though, FCS programs had their 2020 seasons canceled by the pandemic, prompting Walker to transfer to Kent State without having played a game for NC Central. He played 20 games at Kent State across the 2021 and 2022 seasons, and arrived at UNC with two years of college eligibility remaining.
