Kentucky’s 2022 recruiting class is already making winning plays for the Wildcats early on in the season, but no one on defense is making the Big Blue Nation buzz like Deone Walker.
The 6-foot-6, 330-pound defensive lineman came to Lexington as a four-star recruit out of Detroit (MI) Cass Tech. Walker was considered a top 300 prospect in the country according to the On3 Consensus and helped headline arguably Mark Stoops’s most talented class ever at UK. The true freshman is only 18 years old, but he looks more like a multi-year veteran once he steps on the field — literally and figuratively.
