Von Walker — a Mill Hall native and Central Mountain product — left his mark at Penn State.
A former walk-on, Walker appeared in 46 games from 2013-16. Starting as a running back before converting to the defense side of the ball, he served as the Nittany Lions’ special teams captain last season while helping his team to a Big Ten title and eventual Rose Bowl berth.
But Walker couldn’t play in Penn State’s win over Wisconsin or epic game in Pasadena. He suffered a season-ending knee injury on Nov. 19, 2016, against Rutgers in punt coverage.
