No Dollar Signs Cloud His Vision Clear Eyed Walker
Herschel Walker, a 19 year old Georgia freshman phenom from Wrightsville, Ga., is projected to reach football fame while aiming for the 1984 Olympics. He rushed for 1,616 yards as Georgia’s top scorer, and his speed of 9.2 seconds in the 100 will draw NFL offers after graduation, though he prefers finishing college and competing in track and the Olympics. Walker, courted by Alabama and Notre Dame, remains focused on his college career and honors the Heisman voting.
