University of Missouri redshirt sophomore defensive end Arden Walker is transferring. Walker, a native of Denver, Colorado, made the announcement via Twitter.
Coming out of Cherry Creek High School in the Mile High City, Walker’s commitment, early in Coach Eli Drinkwitz’s tenure at MU, was seen as an important get in the fertile recruiting grounds of Colorado, a pipeline that could soon slam-shut after the high-profile hire of Deion Sanders at the University of Colorado. However, Walker’s move to Missouri was the only recruiting win in the state for the Tigers staff over the past three seasons.
