Offensive Guard Brandon Walker

NORMAN, Okla. -- One season you're serving up pancakes on the junior college circuit and the next you're donning the crimson to play for the Oklahoma Sooners.

Such is the experience of offensive line transfer Brandon Walker.

A 6-3, 306-pound guard signed in the spring from Coffeyville (Kansas) Community College, Walker said his decision to come to OU was based on the opportunity to see playing time.

That opportunity appears to be materializing quickly for the Detroit native.

Walker held his own during preseason practices, working at guard along with returner Duke Robinson.

Many Sooners fans view the offensive line as the key to the upcoming season and OU coaches expect Walker to be an integral contributor to the success of that unit.
