Michigan State has made another move in the NCAA transfer portal this afternoon, landing running back transfer Kenneth Walker from Wake Forest. Walker will be the fifth incoming transfer to the Spartans program (you can check all of Michigan State’s transfer movement here).

Kenneth Walker had entered the transfer portal at the beginning of this week and the Spartans acted quickly, as did Walker, with a commitment coming two days after entering the portal.
Walker has spent the last two seasons playing a key role in the Demon Deacons backfield, totalling 1158 yards on 217 carries and finding the endzone 17 times. Walker is more of a bruising power back that enjoys running in between the tackles. In two seasons Walker has only caught 6 passes, not being very involved in the passing game.

Out of high school, Walker was a low ranked 3-star out of Arlington, Tennessee, but quickly showed that he was vastly underrated while finding playing time as a true freshman. He will come to East Lansing as a sophomore, with three years of eligibility left.
Mel Tucker will continue to shape this roster into what he deems fit and will actively pursue more talent in the coming months before the start of the 2021 season.
