DeMarcus Walker was one a big four-star defensive end recruit in the 2013 class. Walker checked in at 6’3 265 and a player rating of 98.22.

Walker participated in a reserve role on the 2013 National Championship team, but increased his production every season he was at FSU.

He’ll leave FSU in third place on the all-time sack list (28.5). Also, he’ll leave FSU tied in the No. 2 spot for most sacks in a single season with 16.

The most valuable defensive player and All-ACC selection two years running, he will likely be a second round selection in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Grade- A+

What else can be say? When a player leaves his mark at a program the caliber of FSU, you have to give him this grade. His production increased every season he was at FSU, and his name is etched among some of the best in program history.

He’ll play on Sunday’s.
