Wisconsin earned a commitment from former Oklahoma running back Tawee Walker on Friday night.

Walker transferred to Oklahoma as a walk-on ahead of the 2022 season. Despite being a walk-on, he carved out a big role in Oklahoma’s running back rotation in 2023. He rushed for 513 yards (second on the team) and 5 touchdowns this year.

Here’s his announcement:

Walker entered the transfer portal earlier this offseason, but he played for the Sooners in their Alamo Bowl loss to Arizona on Thursday night. Walker rushed for 17 yards on 7 carries against the Wildcats.

Prior to Oklahoma, Walker played one season at Palomar Junior College in California.

Walker joins a loaded Wisconsin transfer portal class. The Badgers’ transfer class is led by former Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke. The class ranks inside the top-25 nationally, per 247Sports Composite rankings.

Walker will have one season of eligibility remaining to make an impact in Madison.
