Coming out of high school, Darius Walker was a highly regarded recruit from the state of Georgia. For good reason; in high school Walker broke the record of 42 touchdowns in a season set by none other than Herschel Walker, and was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in Georgia as well as a Georgia prep player of the year for 2003 according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
He first made his mark as a Notre Dame Football player in his freshman year, which happened to be Tyrone Willingham’s final year as coach, registering 786 yards and seven touchdowns.
