Walker made the TIA A all-confcn.:ncc 1cam due to~his performa nce on the field . With these fani; :1lonc Walka is just :motha "dumh jock" in s0<.·icty's l"Yt'$. "I don·, hrog aho111 my grades 10 people. hut when they do find 01111ha1 I actuall y play foo1hall they' ll pop off ahout me hcing ~1upal . then I'll ~:1y somi.:1hing ahriul my gr;1lks. ~fost people :m.: surprise d; thc y' rl.! real surprised." The reason 1hc.y arc so surprised is due to Walker'~ succc..,1. off thl! fi eld as well a." on. In 1hc cl:L~smom \Valkcr, a junior. has :i grade point av1.:rage of 4.0 on ;,i 4.tl .scale..

"I guess I have always had a drive lo succeed," said Walker. "Everyone I hnvc eve r talked to or 1'11.! en around ha.Ii !Old me I am a pcrfecLionist. and if I don '1 do something as well as I'm capahlc of !loin~ it. I reall y get down on myself." Making his parents prnud of him is just one thing that drives th is so phomore linchackcr. He said his accompl b hmcnlS an: not just for him . hut also the people :uound him. "I gue_1.s after lhat firs1'4 .0 I would he mad at myscJf if I dropped below that," said Walker ahout the other thing 1hat drives him, wh ich is self mot ivation. "Since I know I Ht.: is one of onl y fo ur foo l- can achieve th:it und that I've ha ll players ac ross the nation d"nei t bcfore i1sccmslikc ifl in NAIA Division II who drop hclow a 4.0 I'm cheating m, naged a perfect GPA. myself." His acade mic excellence Pulling a 4.0 was no easy earned Walker a spot on b'mh tas k for Walker.
