A&M speedster to play in Coaches All-America game
Texas A&M speedster Skip Walker, a top ground gainer, will play for the West in the 16th annual Coaches All-American game without an agent, choosing to sign with Houston via his father. Walker defends his choice as personal and practical, aiming for pro football despite doubts about his size. Arizona State coach Frank Kush commented on the All-Star scrimmages as he eyes a 13th straight victory. About 26,000 tickets were sold for the 8:15 p.m. kickoff, with many players unsigned due to NFL draft delays.
