Posted By: Will Moss on March 11, 2026


Alabama A&M University standout Kalia Walker has been named the HBCU GO National Player of the Year following an exceptional season with the Bulldogs.

The prestigious honor recognizes Walker's outstanding performance throughout the season, cementing her status as one of the top athletes in HBCU athletics. The HBCU GO award celebrates excellence among student-athletes competing at Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the nation.

Key Takeaway: Kalia Walker's HBCU GO National Player of the Year award highlights the exceptional athletic talent at Alabama A&M and across the HBCU landscape.

Walker's stellar season for the Alabama A&M Bulldogs showcased the caliber of competition and athletic excellence that defines HBCU sports.
