Former ponchatoula WR and current Michigan CB Amorian Walker

Walker hasn’t played much in two seasons in Ann Arbor but has physical gifts galore

6’3 180 CB, Walker ranked 12th on Bruce Feldman’s preseason All-Freak List after posting a 3.89 short shuttle and a sub 4.4 forty

quote:

A former three-star recruit from Louisiana, Walker played five games at wideout and one at defensive back as a true freshman in 2022, but he’s made an eye-catching transformation since arriving at Michigan at 156 pounds. Now, he’s 6-3 1/4, 180 pounds and has crazy athleticism. This offseason he blazed through the 3-cone drill in a stunning 6.10 seconds. “It’s the fastest time I have ever seen and likely the fastest I will ever see,” strength coach Ben Herbert says. That time is almost a full half-second faster than the fastest time recorded at the combine last spring (Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s 6.57). It would also blow away the combine record of 6.42 set 12 years ago by Oregon’s Jeff Maehl. Walker’s 3.89 shuttle would’ve been tops at the combine as well. Smith-Njigba ran a 3.93 with Brandin Cooks’ 3.81 in 2014 the record. And there’s more: Walker vertical-jumped 42 1/2 inches. He did 11-4 in the broad jump and he clocked a 4.34 40, and he did it out of a two-point stance.

Their whole defense is made up of 22-23 year-olds.

I’m not sure LSU has the room to bring in another corner unless it’s someone that would almost certainly lock down a spot. You don’t really need numbers here; you need experience. This kid may have a ton of potential, but no skins on the wall.

He played 66 snaps on defense this year. Kind of sounds like an athletic freak without a position to me.

I'd like to see his weight room numbers. Not being strong enough or trouble learning the scheme has to be the reason he couldn't get on the field.

LSU has limited space and needs plug/play starters in the secondary, not projects. It's probably not the right time.

Have a feeling some guys will get processed before too much longer

Just an FYI

Walker was once committed to play under Brian Kelly at ND

So there’s familiarity.

Sounds like he should be a track athlete. He could be a stud at decathlon.
