Ole Miss football, under the helm of head coach Lane Kiffin, continues to make waves in the world of college football transfers. Kiffin’s knack for attracting top talent via the transfer portal remains unmatched, and his latest acquisition comes from the Michigan Wolverines.
The Rebels have secured the commitment of an extraordinary athlete, Amorion Walker, who already boasts collegiate experience. What’s more, Walker still has two years of eligibility left (as reported by Bruce Feldman of The Athletic).
Standing at an impressive 6’3″ and weighing 180 pounds, Walker is a formidable cornerback. He possesses all the physical attributes necessary to excel in the secondary, including a jaw-dropping 42-inch vertical leap and blistering 4.34 speed, according to Bruce Feldman at The Athletic. Walker is undeniably a rare talent, just waiting to thrive within the right system. In his high school days, Walker was a three-star recruit who chose the Wolverines over notable programs such as Notre Dame, Mississippi State, and LSU.
Although Walker saw limited action during the Wolverines’ 2023 title-winning campaign, playing in 66 defensive snaps and tallying three tackles along with one pass breakup, he was unable to secure a prominent role in Ann Arbor. However, his fortunes are set to change with the Rebels.
Ole Miss football enters the 2024 season with a shortage of depth in the cornerback position, opening up opportunities for Walker to make an early impact and potentially earn a starting spot under Kiffin’s guidance.
Walker now brings his talents to a program on the rise, with Lane Kiffin steering the ship in the fiercely competitive SEC. Ole Miss football boasts the nation’s top transfer portal class, bolstering its already formidable squad, which is widely regarded as a Top 10 team.
With Nick Saban’s departure from Alabama and a multitude of returning starters for the Rebels, this season could very well mark their ascent into the spotlight as contenders for the coveted National Title.
