Johnny Walker
Johnny"Swagg"Walker the former two sport star who lettered for both the Longhorn football and baseball programs. Bo Knows! Yeah, well Johnny knows too. He is one of only 4 athletes to ever play two professional sports in the same seasons and was drafted three times; twice in baseball and once in football.  He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs out of high school; the Atlanta Braves his Junior year at UT and the Green Bay Packers after his Senior year.  

Johnny was a two time 1 Team All- SWC wide receiver also receiving All-American honors at the completion of his Junior season at UT.  This after making what is considered one of the greatest catches in the history of the storied Red River Rivalry versus Oklahoma. 

Johnny carried his success from the gridiron over to the Diamond at Disch-Falk by earning Baseball America’s top colligate outfielder honor.  He earned All-SWC, as well as, all Regional tournament honors that same season.

Johnny will add a perspective to the show that will include his experiences as both a former Longhorn letterman and ex-professional athlete. These experiences will give the listener’s a true Burnt Orange perspective.
