Utah State University has named Cameron Walker its next athletic director.
Walker most recently worked as the senior deputy director of athletics and chief strategy officer at the University of Tennessee and the executive director of the UT Athletics Foundation.
“Cameron is a highly regarded athletic administrator who knows what it takes to foster department-wide success in the new era of intercollegiate athletics,” USU Interim President Alan L. Smith said in a news release. “His breadth and depth of experience, local ties, and legal background make him the perfect individual to lead us into the reimagined Pac-12 and to write the next chapter for USU Athletics.”
Walker will begin his work in Logan on Oct. 6.
“Utah State has a promising future and significant potential, and I look forward to helping bring that vision to life,” said Walker, who is from Rexburg, Idaho.
Walker’s work experience also includes stops at the University of Central Florida, where he worked as the executive associate athletics director for compliance and Utah Valley University, where he was the associate athletics director.
“Cam is a talented leader who will undoubtedly bring Utah State to a whole new level,” said Tennessee Director of Athletics Danny White, who worked with Walker in both Knoxville and Orlando. “He has been an enormous part of our success in rebuilding Tennessee in so many ways.”
