Walker is the seventh defensive back that Tennessee has lost to the portal this offseason, joining Warren Burrell, Doneiko Slaughter, Jack Luttrell, Brandon Turnage, Tamarion McDonald, and De'Shawn Rucker.

The Vols have added two defensive backs from the transfer portal -- former MTSU safety Jakobe Thomas and former Oregon State cornerback Jermod McCoy

Walker joined Tennessee ahead of the 2022 season after transferring from Georgia Tech. He totaled 89 tackles, two sacks, and one interception during his two seasons with the Vols.
