OWENSBORO, KY - For the fourth time in 2021-22,
KiShawn Walker has been named an All-American. This time Walker was named to the Don Hansen All-American First Team. This comes in addition to his other awards won this season, such as AP First Team All-American, AFCA First Team All-American, D2CCA Second Team All-American, First Team All-Region, and First Team All G-MAC.
Walker is now the only Panther in recorded history to be named to four All-American teams in a single season, surpassing current New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole, who was named to three back in 2016. Walker is the first Wesleyan Football Player to be named to an All-American team since Cole in 2016, and the first defensive player since Hall of Famer Brian Seider was named to the All-American First Team in both 1996 and 1997.
Walker finished the season with 17 pass breakups, five interceptions, one pick-six, 39 total tackles, two TFL, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He notched two games with three pass breakups and set a career high against Findlay with four. In just two years of play he ranks seventh in career passes defended in KWC history. His 22 total passes defended put him at fourth all time in a season in KWC history, and the first person since 1992 to eclipse the 20 passes defended mark.
Walker's 17 pass breakups were the most in NCAA DII this season.
