The FWAA All-America team was announced Monday.
Walker helped K-State go 9-4 this season by making 39 tackles, including 11.5 for loss and 6.5 sacks. He also forced three fumbles and recovered two fumbles.
The Ponchatoula, La. Native ranked seventh in the Big 12 in sacks and eighth in tackles for loss. He led all Big 12 freshmen in both categories.
