Nebrasketball Player Profile: Derrick Walker

Remember when Derrick Walker got his first on-court action in January after serving a suspension and we all collectively asked, “What could Husker Hoops have done with THIS guy available for ALL the games?”

This season, we will find out.

Walker, the 6-foot-9, 232-pounder from Kansas City, enters his fifth college season – his third with Fred Hoiberg in Lincoln – in a position to lead the most talented Nebrasketball roster this century. In his two years at Tennessee, he was a part of an SEC championship team and a Sweet 16 run, so he knows what success looks like.
