*Herschel Walker is back in college following his unsuccessful run for one of Georgia’s U.S. Senate seats, during which he made false claims about his graduation status.
According to AJC, Walker has reenrolled at the University of Georgia and is taking summer courses. Reportedly, he’s been seen on campus visiting the academic advisor’s office.
In Dec. 2021, Walker’s campaign website claimed he had graduated from the school, but the athlete left after his junior year to play in the NFL. CNN revealed in April 2022 that Walker had been fabricating his graduation status for years, including claims that he graduated in the top 1% of his class.
When journalists began to voice skepticism about his claims, he lied again saying he never said he graduated from the University of Georgia. During a 2017 interview with Sway In The Morning, Walker said: “People say, Herschel, you played football, but guys I was also valedictorian of my class. I was also top in the top 1% of my graduating class in college.” Watch below:
As previously reported, Walker also made up stories about working in law enforcement.
“I worked in law enforcement, so I had a gun,” Walker told a U.S. Army audience, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
In 2017, he said publicly, “I work with the Cobb County Police Department.” AJC reported that Walker’s campaign claimed he was “an honorary deputy” with the Cobb County Sheriff’s office, but the department told AJC that it has no record of Walker ever working there.
