 Robert Walker (Varsity Defensive Line)
I'm Robert Walker from North Minneapolis. I am coming into my 10th year of coaching high school football. This will be my 4th year coaching at St. Louis Park High School. My background mostly involves working with the offensive line. I played college football at Minnesota State University, Mankato where I played offensive guard. I started my career volunteering at Minneapolis Roosevelt High School, from there I went on to coach 4 years at Brooklyn Center high school where I was in charge of the Offensive and defense line for 2 years before taking over as the play-caller for the following 2 years. Once an opportunity open up at St. Louis Park 3 years ago I felt it would be great for me to come in and learn from a great coaching staff. This year I will be transitioning to coaching defensive line. I am looking forward to the new challenge and I am excited to start a new journey in my coaching career.
