One player on the defensive line made the most in his debut. True freshman Deone Walker tallied four tackles in his first college football game. Those early snaps gave the Detroit native a ton of confidence entering The Swamp.
“I really just learned that if I go North, nobody can stop me,” said Walker. “I gotta cool down and let the game slow down for me.”
