This Season

The corners group will be one of the biggest fall camp battles for OU. Players fighting for snaps include C.J. Coldon, Jaden Davis, Kendall Dennis, D.J. Graham, Josh Eaton, Walker, and Woodi Washington… that’s a long list of guys who have legit shots at valuable playing time. Walker drew a lot of high praise in spring camp. Washington seems extremely likely to start; on the other side, several guys could end up starting day one, with Walker certainly in that group. Whether he starts or not, look to see a lot of Kani Walker in crimson and cream this fall.
