Former football star Herschel Walker has re-enrolled at the University of Georgia after his failed U.S. Senate bid, taking steps toward earning his college degree as he retreats from the public spotlight following his humbling defeat.
The university’s registrar confirmed Thursday that Walker is taking summer courses at the school. A university official said the Republican was recently spotted at an academic advisor’s office at the Franklin College of Arts & Sciences.
A household name in Georgia long before he waged his campaign against Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, the more than $470 million that was spent during during the 2022 midterm rendered Walker an unavoidable figure.
