One former Heisman Trophy winner turned senate candidate is making waves again.
Herschel Walker, who won the Heisman at the University of Georgia before spending 12 seasons in the NFL, shocked the world when he ran as the Republican nominee in the 2022 United States Senate election in Georgia.
Walker has largely stayed out of the limelight since losing the senate race, but the football legend is ready to make a statement again.
One eagle-eyed Twitter user spotted Walker at the University of Georgia versus University of Alabama football game on Saturday night. Judging by his company, there’s a chance Walker is readying to make his next political move.
Walker was seen in a suite along with Kid Rock, Hank Williams Jr., Katie Britt, Tommy Tubbervile, and even former president and the Republican in the upcoming November election, Donald Trump.

It’s not uncommon for such a marquee college football game to attract celebrities, but it’s hard to ignore the timing of Walker’s appearance with Trump. If Trump wins in November he’ll need to fill out his cabinet with people he trusts.
Unfortunately for Walker, his alma mater lost the most exciting game of the young college football season, 41-34.
However, depending on what he discussed with Trump, he still might’ve left with all smiles.
