Former University of Georgia and Dallas Cowboys running back Herschel Walker was spotted on Southern Methodist University’s campus on Thursday while moving his son, Christian, into his freshman dorm room.

A photographer from Fox 4 in Dallas/ Fort Worth, Texas, spotted the former Heisman Trophy winner and spoke to him in an SMU parking lot.

“I’m doing most of the work,” Walker said.

Walker won the Heisman Trophy in 1982. He had a stellar NFL career, playing for the Dallas Cowboys among other teams.

Christian Walker has run track and participated in competitive cheerleading.

In the video, Walker jokes he’ll have to inform former Mustangs running back Eric Dickerson his son is attending his former school.
