No. 2 Star – Kani Walker, CB
A former transfer from the University of Louisville, Kani Walker didn’t see the field much last year.
As a testament to his work and his coach’s belief, he earned an opportunity at meaningful snaps this season.
When starting corner Gentry Williams went down with an injury on Saturday night, it was Walker called into action by position coach Jay Valai.
Walker was targeted immediately and gave up a big play but settled in nicely. He had a crucial pass breakup later and played solid coverage for the remainder of the game.
He gives Oklahoma a unique blend of height and length on the perimeter and could be a nice player to depend on going forward as Oklahoma’s competition continues to increase.
