JUCO offensive lineman Issiah Walker commits to Colorado

Colorado took a step forward in rebuilding its offensive line by adding a commitment from Issiah Walker

Two days after head coach Deion Sanders vowed to rebuild Colorado’s offensive line, the Buffs received a commitment from former four-star prospect Issiah Walker on Monday.

The 6-foot-5, 290-pound offensive tackle currently plays at Butler Community College in Kansas. Out of high school, though, he signed with Florida as a member of the 2020 recruiting class before transferring to Miami (Fla.) in May of 2020. He then made his way to the junior college ranks.

This past offseason, he committed to Purdue but ended up returning to Butler Community College.

Per 247Sports, Walker plans on visiting Colorado in December and then enrolling. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

“I’m going in there to play and make a huge impact with the two years I have left,” Walker told 247Sports. “I have to really make those count and I feel like the school and coaches can help me achieve that.”

Walker has also received offers from Houston, Memphis, Texas State, Georgia Southern and Syracuse, according to 247Sports.

Former Florida Gators 4-star signee makes transfer decision

Florida Gators offensive lineman Issiah Walker has made his transfer decision.

Offensive tackle Issiah Walker signed with Florida as a 4-star recruit in the most recent (2020) recruiting cycle, however, announced last week that he would be transferring before ever playing a game for the Gators.

On Saturday, Walker announced he will be transferring to Miami, staying in-state.

Walker played high school football at Norland in Miami, Florida. His transfer continues Florida’s trend of struggling to lock down top talent in the Sunshine State.

Whether or not Walker will be forced to sit-out the 2020 season is unknown. NCAA transfer rules state he will, but we’ve seen crazier things happen.

Florida fans may try to brush off another transfer, but the Gators losing another offensive lineman isn’t going to help them rush for more than 21 yards next time they face Georgia.

 

 

Florida offensive lineman enters transfer portal

A former four-star recruit, Florida Gators offensive lineman Issiah Walker has entered into the transfer portal.

It’s been a tough past few days for Dan Mullen and the Florida Gators. Florida already saw one of the top running back commitments in the class of 2021 de-commit.

Now, the University of Florida is potentially losing a talented four-star offensive lineman in Issiah Walker. Walker entered into the transfer portal:

Florida fans may try to brush off another transfer, but let’s be honest the Gators losing another offensive lineman isn’t going to help them rush for more than 21 yards next time they face Georgia.

Walker played high school football at Norland in Miami, Florida. His transfer continues Florida’s trend of struggling to lock down top talent in the Sunshine State.

Kirby Smart and Georgia are recruiting Florida better than ever before. Walker’s transfer destination isn’t yet known, but it’s never surprising to see a player transfer between SEC schools.

As a 6-4, 310 offensive tackle, Issiah Walker has the physical attributes to succeed in the SEC. He’s only a freshman and will have plenty of time to adapt to college football.
