The 5-foot-11 senior guard from Lincoln County (Panaca, Nev.) leads the nation in points, 3-point baskets and free throw percentage. He ranks No. 6 in scoring average (35.6) and assist average (10.4).

Walker's 73-point game earlier this month is believed to be the highest output in the country this year.
