Tennessee found some help at defensive back on Sunday afternoon, landing a transfer commitment from former Georgia Tech player Wesley Walker. The need for more depth in the secondary was obvious in the Music City Bowl as Purdue crushed the Volunteers through the air.
A versatile Wesley Walker should help that situation. Walker made his announcement via Twitter in the post below.
Walker is a Nashville native coming from Ensworth High School. After three seasons with Georgia Tech, Walker will now join his stepbrother Tyler Baron at Tennessee. Current defensive backs coach Willie Martinez actually recruited Walker for Tennessee under Butch Jones, but Jeremy Pruitt’s staff didn’t pursue him after the coaching change.
