A redshirt junior defensive lineman, has been removed from Georgia Southern’s football roster, marking the second departure from the team in just two weeks. Walker’s exit follows that of backup quarterback Dexter Williams II, who announced his transfer on November 6th.

Walker also contributed an interception during the 2022 season. This season, he had tallied 12 tackles before his unexpected departure.

Georgia Southern, currently sitting at 6-4 (4-2 in Sun Belt play), faces Coastal Carolina this weekend. The reasons for Walker’s removal remain unclear, with no confirmation yet on whether he left voluntarily, was dismissed, or intends to transfer. Updates are expected as more information becomes available.
