3. Wesley Walker

Walker came alive last weekend with six tackles and one sack. Walker was an absolute menace on defense and helped carry the defense along with Aaron Beasley to hold down Vols’ defense. Wesley also had one pass deflection and was a key part of the Vols’ defense, locking down Austin Peay’s offense.
