PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Brown wide receiver Graham Walker has been named to the 2021 HERO Sports FCS Sophomore All-American Team, the outlet has announced. The honor comes after Walker's breakout campaign this season, during which he ranked among the Ivy League's leaders in several receiving categories.

Walker, who also earned All-Ivy Honorable Mention accolades this season, tied for the team lead and fourth in the Ivy League with 664 yards receiving and 66.4 receiving yards per game. Those stats led all Ivy League rookies, along with his 54 receptions and six touchdowns. Walker recorded at least two receptions in all 10 games this season, twice eclipsing the 100-yard mark against Harvard on Sept. 24 (132 yards) and against Dartmouth (Nov. 20), both times helping him earn Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors.

A Hinesburg, Vermont native, Walker was one of two Ivy League players named to one of the outlet's All-America squads, along with Harvard freshman defensive lineman Thor Griffith.
