Together with redshirt freshman Gavin Sawchuck, Walker, a junior, shared time on the ground in 2023, rushing for 513 yards with seven touchdowns on five yards per run.
Walker, a 5’9, 215-pound running back, is a second-time transfer. He first went to Oklahoma after attending Palomar Junior College, and he is now a Wisconsin Wildcat.
Walker returns to the Badgers’ rebuilt running back unit, which saw the loss of star back Braelon Allen but the return of Chez Mellusi after he sustained a season-ending injury in Week 4.
The Badgers also boast a strong recruiting class for 2024 at running back, with recruits Darrion Dupree, Dilin Jones, and Gideon Ituka all scheduled to enrol.
Walker increases the depth of the group and may be ready to challenge right away for a position on the two-deep at running back.
Chez Mellusi, Jackson Acker, Cade Yacamelli, Nate White, Tawee Walker, Darrion Dupree, Dilin Jones, and Gideon Ituka are the eight scholarship backs the Badgers have for the 2024 campaign.
