Walker noted in an Instagram post to fellow linemen Charles Tapper and Matt Romar that he planned to be back for the national championship should the Sooners defeat Clemson on Thursday.

Walker was named All-Big 12 Conference second team after making 36 tackles, including 10 for loss, which ranked second on the team behind Eric Striker.
