3. D’Andre Walker

Fromm didn’t face the onslaught that Eason did. But he did face D’Andre Walker, winner of the defensive Headhunter Award. Walker had two sacks for a total of 17 yards with five total tackles. He was the only player during the G-Day game with two sacks.

Georgia’s front-seven is stacked. There’s so much depth at every position there that even a backup like Walker is expected to have a big season. Games like Saturday’s will go a long way in ensuring he lives up to expectations.

Kirby Smart and the coaching staff expect so much out of him that they awarded him with one of the Headhunter Awards. I don’t think I need to tell you what that award signifies.
