College career

Auburn

Walker was first offered by Auburn in August 2023.[2] He officially committed to the team in September 2024.[3] His announcement came through a livestream hosted by 247Sports.[4] According to 247Sports, he was the 134th-ranked recruit in the class of 2025, and the 3rd best player in the state.[5]

Prior to playing in his first game, he suffered an injury in his right foot in September 2025.[6] He had surgery to repair the foot, with head coach Steven Pearl calling the injury a "minor" setback.[7] He played his first game two months later against the Jackson State Tigers in November. In that game, he scored five three-point field goals in seven minutes, without missing a shot.[8][9] Walker won the 2026 National Invitation Tournament alongside the team.[10]

Walker announced his return to Auburn for the 2026–27 season in April 2026.[11]
