Ole Miss cornerback transfer Amorion Walker commits to Michigan

Former Ole Miss Rebels cornerback Amorion Walker has found a new college football home for the upcoming 2024 season, and it is a place he is quite familiar with. Walker is returning to the program in which he started his collegiate football career, opting to commit to the Michigan Wolverines and their new head coach, Sherrone Moore.

In his two seasons at Michigan, Walker appeared in 12 games. In the 2023 campaign, he played in five games, tallying three tackles and one pass breakup.

It took Walker just the spring to make his way back into the transfer portal after he opted to head South and join Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss program. The six-foot-four defensive back committed to the Rebels in January, less than a month after the Wolverines captured the national championship. Now, he is on his way back to Ann Arbor, MI, to help assist Moore in Michigan’s title defense.

Walker played high school football at Ponchatoula High School in Ponchatoula, LA, where he was a three-star recruit. According to the On3 Industry Rankings, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, he was rated as the No. 470 overall player in the country in the 2022 cycle.

Moore describes changes as full-time head coach

This Spring has been Moore’s first as the full-time head coach of the Michigan Wolverines. With that has come a time of transition for Moore as he goes from being a coordinator to the head coach.

Moore described those changes recently, explaining that his role is more about management than it is about football now.

“Just different in the fact that it’s not as much football,” Sherrone Moore said. “I used to sit in the room with two big screens and watch football all the time, but it’s less of that and more of managing of an organization on a daily basis. Just keeping our alignment and keeping our process the same. So, that’s really been the biggest difference for me.”

Moore has been at Michigan since 2018. At that point, he was the tight ends coach, and in 2021, he became the co-offensive coordinator. He was also the team’s acting head coach when then-head coach Jim Harbaugh was suspended at the end of the 2023 season.
