As a freshman, helping lead her team to a 16–2 record this season. She is averaging a double-double with 17.1 PPG and 11.3 rebounds per game. Walker uses advanced footwork in the post to get defenders off balance and finishes high off the glass. She is also an active rim runner who attacks every rebound with relentless effort, and her competitive nature often outworks her opponents.

At 5’10, Walker moves with agility and grace. If she continues contributing at this level in high stakes games, she has the ability to help lead her team on a deep 2A playoff run and prove she can compete with the best.

Once she secured the ball down low, she displayed several post moves, including drop steps and up-and-unders. If you didn’t box her out, she was grabbing the rebound and putting it back up without ever bringing it down. Walker is the type of player who doesn’t need a play drawn up for her—she’ll fight for loose balls and still end up with a double-double in points and rebounds. Her relentless effort around the rim was one of the most impressive takeaways from the showcase.
