DeMarcus Walker (born September 30, 1994) is an American football defensive end for the Florida State Seminoles.
Early years
Walker attended Sandalwood High School in Jacksonville, Florida. He originally committed to the University of Alabama to play college football but changed to Florida State University.[1] The NCAA delayed approval of his ability to play at FSU for so long that fans used #FreeDeMarcus to show their support for him. He was finally allowed to play! [2]
College career
As a true freshman at Florida State in 2013, Walker played in 12 games and made three starts. He finished the year with 18 tackles and one sack. As a sophomore in 2014 he played in all 14 games with 11 starts, recording 38 tackles and one sack.[3] As a junior in 2015, Walker started all 13 games, recording 58 tackles and 10.5 sacks.[4][5] During the first game of his senior season in 2016, he recorded 4.5 sacks.[6][7] On October 8, 2016, he sealed FSU's 7th win in a row against in-state rival Miami by blocking Miami's game tying PAT, known now as the "Block at the Rock"!
