Deone Walker is one of the best defensive lineman in the country and a projected first round pick. South Carolina's Shane Beamer had high praise for the Kentucky star ahead of the Gamecock's week two matchup.
The Gamecocks are set to play one of the nation's best interior defensive lineman in Kentucky's Deone Walker. A player so good that South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer labeled Walker as a "Game Wrecker" in Tuesday's press conference.
Walker has been known to flip offensive gameplans from his ability to be an anchor in the run game and an elite interior pass rusher. The Gamecocks know Walker will make plays, but the key will be limiting his impact on their offense. "He absolutely does just because of the athleticism and the twitch," Coach Beamer said. "I think Walker does for sure just because he's got the sheer size, that speaks for itself, but when you add the twitch and the athleticism it adds a whole new element to what you have to prepare for."
