Deone Walker is rare.
Simply stated, he’s a unique player with inimitable traits. A mixture of elite size (6’6, 340), speed, power, attitude, and athletic ability; Walker parlayed those characteristics into a rookie season that resulted in being named a Freshman All-American and All-SEC performer, in addition to other accolades. His 2022 production, coupled with uncommon measurables, provoked me into taking a journey into history to compare Walker’s present and future status to former Wildcat legends.
I polled ‘my dudes’ to gauge UK historical comparisons for Walker.
