Summary
Episode 10 in the series features my recent sit-down with Michigan cornerback Amorion Walker reflecting upon his journey to Michigan and his decision to switch over to defense full time. Walker explained why he was still an under-the-radar prospect after his junior year, and how Nick Saban opened the recruiting floodgates with a Bama offer. He then shed light on why he flipped his commitment for Notre Dame to Michigan. The conversation then turns to freshman year and schools that tried to convince him to leave Ann Arbor after it. Walker also discusses his NIL experience thus far. The episode closes with his assessment of his spring practice performance and spring practice standouts on offense and defense.
