Finding a defensive lineman physically capable of holding his own against Southeastern Conference opponents is never an easy task, but Kentucky appears to have one in Walker. The 6-foot-6, 330-pound tackle was the biggest standout from Saturday's Fan Day practice. "That's a different cat right there," super senior linebacker Jacquez Jones said of Walker. "He's so big and the way he moves. Deone, he's special. Nobody big should be moving like that." Octavious Oxendine, Justin Rogers and Tre'Vonn Rybka opened preseason practice as the starters on Kentucky's defensive line, but coaches are expected to rotate heavily at those positions. Walker already has received some first-team snaps. "He works hard," Stoops said. "You can see the athletic ability in him. Just got to stay the course. There's going to be ups and downs, but unbelievable talent. Exactly what we thought when we recruited him." - Herald Leader
