2017 season wrapup: Walker finished the season with 37 tackles, 15 assists, three sacks, one fumble recovery and two forced fumbles. He added eight receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown on offense. Upson-Lee finished the year 4-6 in the first season under coach Justin Elder. Walker, an honorable mention all-state player, is the No. 2 defensive tackle and No. 26 player overall nationally.

School's first Super 11 since: Walker is the first.

What's interesting: Walker is an all-state power forward on Upson-Lee's basketball team, which has won two state titles and 63 consecutive games, tied for the third-longest run in Georgia boys basketball history.
