Walker Wallace, a 2025 NCAA champion with Cornell, has always stood out on the field \u2014 any field, really.<\/p>\n
At 6-foot-7, 242 pounds, it’s hard for him not to be a cut above. He was a menace as a long-stick midfielder for the Big Red, contributing 19 ground balls, 11 caused turnovers and three goals during his team\u2019s historic run to a title in Foxborough, Mass.<\/p>\n
It was the ultimate lacrosse swan song. Now, Wallace is off chasing another dream.<\/p>\n
The Richmond, Va., native entered the transfer portal in pursuit of his other passion and latched on with Virginia to play football as a graduate student this fall. He is the tallest tight end listed on the Cavaliers\u2019 roster.<\/p>\n
At St. Christopher\u2019s School, Wallace helped the football team to a runner-up finish in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association State Championship. He earned second-team all-state honors that season.<\/p>\n
This will hardly be his first big-time transition in college. Having committed to Cornell as a goalie, Wallace made the switch to long-stick midfielder ahead of his junior season in 2023. He appeared in 14 games that season after not playing at all as a freshman in 2021 (COVID-19 restrictions) or as a sophomore in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Walker Wallace, a 2025 NCAA champion with Cornell, has always stood out on the field \u2014 any field,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":307494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5311],"tags":[49,978,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-307493","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-united-states","9":"tag-us","10":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114949820864793983","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
