UTSA’s Walker Baty makes fast transition from D-line to starting left tackle
UTSA left tackle Walker Baty during the Roadrunners’ game against Florida International on Friday, Oct. 14, 2022, in Miami.A few hours after UTSA walked off the field at Texas, Walker Baty’s phone buzzed with a message from coach Jeff Traylor.
“I was like, ‘OK, coach. Whatever it takes,’” Baty said. “I wasn’t particularly excited, because I love D-line. I’ve played D-line my whole life. But you gotta do what you gotta do.” Identifying Baty’s potential to be “really special” on the offensive line, Traylor said conversations about a move have been going on “forever.”
Given Baty’s athleticism, Traylor said UTSA figured he had the talent to hold his own at tackle even with so little time to prepare. As the Roadrunners have shuffled through offensive tackles, Traylor said third-year starting left guard Haynes, fourth-year starting center Ahofitu Maka and fifth-year starter Kevin Davis at right guard have kept the inexperienced replacements on track.
