Walk Named to SEC All-Defensive Team

NORMAN — Oklahoma outfielder Jason Walk has been named to the SEC All-Defensive Team, the conference announced the annual end-of-year awards Monday afternoon.

Walk, OU's everyday center fielder, has started 47 of OU's 52 games and holds a .965 fielding clip. The Acworth, Ga., product has 76 putouts and seven assists to just three errors and has helped turn one double play on the season. The junior has proved to be versatile in 2026, making 41 starts in center along with four starts at second and a pair at third base.

With over 130 career starts in his three seasons at OU, Walk has shown off his defensive prowess year after year, erasing base hits with catches at the wall and diving grabs in the outfield. His seven assists in 2026 are a career high, besting his two from a season ago. On his career, Walk holds a .975 fielding percentage, committing just seven errors to over 250 putouts.

Walk is OU's first SEC All-Defensive Team honoree in program history as the Sooners completed their second regular season in the league on Saturday. Walk joins Kyson Witherspoon (2025 First Team), Easton Carmichael (2025 Second Team) and Kyle Branch (2025 All-Freshman Team) as all-conference selections throughout OU's two seasons in the SEC.

Walk and the Sooners begin the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Ala., on Tuesday night vs. LSU at 8 p.m. CT. The game can be seen on SEC Network and heard on The REF 99.3 FM/1400 AM.
