A redshirt season helped Ricky Walker in many ways and now the Tech defensive tackle is ready to show his talents
BLACKSBURG – Tim Settle has gotten a lot of attention during the first 10-plus days of Tech’s fall practice, given his large status as a former five-star recruit and his large 325-pound frame at the defensive tackle position.
But Tech fans should remember that another very good player took a redshirt year last fall and he quietly continues to impress.
Ricky Walker played in 11 games as a true freshman in 2011, but sat out last fall because of Tech’s depth at his position.
