DeMarcus Walker (born September 30, 1994) is an American football defensive end for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Florida State.
Walker attended Sandalwood High School in Jacksonville, Florida. He originally committed to the University of Alabama to play college football but changed to Florida State University. The NCAA delayed approval of his ability to play at FSU for so long that fans used #FreeDeMarcus to show their support for him. He was finally allowed to play!
As a true freshman at Florida State in 2013, Walker played in 12 games and made three starts. He finished the year with 18 tackles and one sack. As a sophomore in 2014 he played in all 14 games with 11 starts, recording 38 tackles and one sack. As a junior in 2015, Walker started all 13 games, recording 58 tackles and 10.5 sacks. During the first game of his senior season in 2016, he recorded 4.5 sacks. On October 8, 2016, he sealed FSU's 7th win in a row against in-state rival Miami by blocking Miami's game tying PAT, known now as the "Block at the Rock"!
Walker was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the second round, 51st overall, of the 2017 NFL Draft.
