2005:Walker is a special back…he isn’t fast, but he is shifty and has a nice burst when he gets to the hole. He runs well between the tackles and can get to the outside...sets up his blocks very well and is very patient. He can catch the ball and blocks...Bottom line is that he does everything very well. The only thing Darius needs to improve on is his strength and power, but we fully expect that to be taken care of in the off-season...With veteran offensive line that averages 567 career minutes played in front of him, we expect Walker to rush for well over 1,000 yards.

2004:Walker was everything Irish fans expected and more. One of four freshman to play, he led the Irish in rushing yardage (786), rushing attempts (185), and TDs (7). He burst onto the scene in the 2nd game of the year, as he rushed for a season high 115 yards and scored his first 2 Tds in a victory against Michigan. Walker had 112 yards on 16 carries vs. Pitt….70 yards on 9 carries vs. Tennessee.
