JohnDeere 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Notre Dame junior running back Darius Walker will hold a news conference Thursday in South Bend, Ind., to announce he is entering the NFL draft, a source told ESPN's Joe Schad on Wednesday. The source indicated Walker is likely to be the only Notre Dame junior to leave school early. Walker's departure will hurt an Irish offense faced with rebuilding at quarterback and on the offensive line. Walker, 5-foot-10 and 208 pounds, ran for 1,267 yards and seven touchdowns this season. He had 56 catches for 391 yards and a score. Joe Schad covers college football for ESPN. This is especially interesting to Irish fans and haters alike. IMHO, Walker would be at best All-SEC honorable mention. He broke quite a few records at Notre Dame though. To SEC fans, he came out of Buford HS (outside of Atlanta) and passed on offers from alot of schools in the south. His HS teammates, included Neil Brown DE (left the Auburn team last Spring), Lorain Samms WR(transferred from FSU to UTEP last Spring, little brother of P.K. Samms (FSU WR) who caught game winning catch against UF in 02). Last year Justin Roper QB came out of Buford and went to Oregon. Yvan Banag RB/DB signed with South Carolina.

Are you trying to say that if he were at SPUAT they would be rolling six deep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickerman97 3 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Are you trying to say that if he were at SPUAT they would be rolling six deep? I think ND will be a preseason top 10 and USC will be the preseason #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLink02 8 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 UGA fans still complain about missing him. He never got an offer from UGA and some say the coaches screwed the pooch with him as he was wanting to go to UGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
