Looking to build on an encouraging rookie season, Walker instead did little more than tread water as a sophomore: as a runner, he posted a 228-1050-9 line in Year 1 versus a 219-905-8 effort last year, and as a receiver it went from 27-165-0 to 29-259-1. Total it up, and he collected 255 touches, 1,215 yards, and nine touchdowns in 2022, compared to 248 touches for 1,164 yards and nine scores last season. He once again missed two games due to injury as well, though it was an oblique issue this time around.
Although he's not a bruiser, the Michigan State alum has decent power to go with a mix of shiftiness and burst in the open field. He's also solid in pass protection with reliable hands, meaning he's capable of contributing on all three downs. That could be key as new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb has said the backs will be more involved in the passing game than they were under Carroll.
While Walker remains the lead back, there is some mild cause for concern after he missed time each of his first two seasons and has talent behind him that could warrant more snaps. Nonetheless, Walker retains appeal as a low-end RB2 or strong RB3.
