An all-everything player for SMU — he played running back, defensive back, punted and returned kicks, among other things — Walker won the Heisman in 1948 and was a three-time All-America. In one memorable 1947 game against Texas Christian, he had runs of 80, 61 and 56 yards. — Runner-up: Creighton Miller, HB, Notre Dame (1941-43)
