Puts name in transfer portal
Walker has entered the NCAA's portal as a graduate transfer, Rivals.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker is coming off a down year at Western Kentucky, with just 645 rushing yards (4.5 YPC) and three touchdowns across 12 games. Back in 2019, he managed 1,208 yards (5 YPC) and eight scores in 13 contests. As he sets his sights on rebounding in 2021, Walker's eligibility as a grad transfer will allow him to compete with his new program immediately.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
There are workhorse running backs, and then there’s Walker. The Hilltoppers running back carried the ball 241 times last season. No other Western Kentucky back had more than nine carries. The only other Hilltopper with double-digit carries was Ty Storey, a quarterback. One assumed Western Kentucky will try and give Walker more of a breather this year, but he will still be the top back for the Hilltoppers. Fantasy owners will hope all those touches can lead to slightly better numbers, though. Despite all the action Walker had just 1,208 yards and eight touchdowns. Those are good stats, but they don’t really wow you either.
