Jay Walker is one of the most prolific football names in Howard history; after transferring to the Bison from Long Beach State, Walker was a two-time First Team All-MEAC selection and the conference’s Offensive Player of the Year in 1993. That season, the Bison went undefeated en route to winning MEAC and Black College National Championships. He passed for 3,324 yards in 1993, which ranks as the second-highest single-season total in MEAC history, and his 223 completions that season rank fifth in conference history. He also threw 24 touchdown passes in 1993, tying for the sixth-highest single-season total in MEAC history. In 2005, Walker was inducted into the Howard University Athletics Hall of Fame. A seventh-round draft pick in 1994 by the New England Patriots, Walker played in the NFL for four seasons (two for the Patriots and two for the Minnesota Vikings). He has served on the Maryland House of Delegates since 2007, and he currently works as a college football analyst for ESPN.
