_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Why do you play football?
I been playing since I was 4, I love the game a lot.

Who is your favorite sports star and why?
I really like Derwin James, he plays the same position as me and it motivates me to try and get to where he is at.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
Has to be my interception vs Thomas Jefferson in championship game, coming right out of halftime, Coach Mike said, “this is one of the biggest drives of the game and I caught a pick”.

What are your goals for this coming season?
For me, it’s all about my team, it’s state championship or nothing for us. Everything we do is for our teammate Sunny, we refuse to let him down.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?
I like the Baltimore Ravens.

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game and why?
My favorite game was probably Belle Vernon, we battled back from being down early and moved on to the championship.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
Uncle Drew, it’s a good entertaining movie.

What cartoon character do you think your head coach most resembles.
I think probably Squid-Ward from Sponge-Bob, he loves to have fun but when it’s time to work, there is no games.

If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?
Come on DJ usually, probably because I could’ve made that play or did better on that play.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like?
My older brother Larry Walker Jr, we play the same position so he makes it a lot easier for me, especially from what he learns in college. He will be in the league soon so I want to definitely be like him.

Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t:
I would say swimming, I like to swim but I think that’s too much for me to handle.

What is your most embarrassing sports moment?
This a tough one, I will say this one time during basketball season, somebody did a nice crossover and you should know what happened after that, lol. Just know I didn’t fall.

Is there anyone in your family, besides your parents, you could consider your biggest fan? Who, Why?
My second family, I call them, is Brandon Banks my teammate, his parents and family, they welcome me with open arms and always support me in everything.

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?
I just play the game with my friends.

What is your favorite football memory to date?
My favorite football memory to date is my first ever practice ever, I was only 4 years old and I was actually excited.

What is your favorite play to run?
On offense, how can you say no to all streaks, and defense, like to go man to man.

What scares you the most?
Snakes

Music of choice?
Hip-Hop

What was your favorite gift as a little boy? Why?
Having my big brother there with me the whole way, everybody doesn’t have somebody to guide them in sports or just in life, so that was a big gift for me.

What restaurant is your go to when you need a big meal?
Buffalo Wild Wings

Which one? Sheetz or Wawa
Sheetz for sure !
