The drought is over! Georgia State's defense forces their first turnover in 70 days.
Deuce Walker strips Rara Thomas of the football and lands on the fumble himself. Heads-up play by the sophomore DB.
WATCH: I got to go 1-on-1 with the newest Atlanta Falcon, Salisbury's favorite son @JalonWlaker.
The Charlotte-area native is staying close to his second home, going just down the road from the University of Georgia.
"It's good to be home."

Flashback to a pre-commit sitdown with Jalon Walker in March of 2021.
Different.
He was #NFLCombine podium ready as a junior in HS. Even gave a birthday S/o to his future position coach.
He was first-class back then. Raised right by two 5-star parents.
5-star LB #AtkNup with future #GoDawgs first-rounder Jalon Walker and NFL Pro Bowler Micah Parsons.
Parsons said it first. Then Walker followed it up with his own take Dawg fans will love.
Easy 🔮 Prediction: There will one day be three Butkus Award winners in this video.
TRUST THE TAPE @kamari_lassiter has always been a real one!!! Glad the @HoustonTexans saw him for exactly who he is.. a competitor and real football guy!!! Gonna show up with his best every time!!
Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman on Jalon Walker: “Yeah, he is one of the — if not the best — linebacker we’ll face all year. He's a problem. He does some really good things in the run and the pass game. He's physical. [He’ll] strike. Good instincts. He's a really, really good football player. And you can't run around linebackers. You’ve got to go in. You’ve got to attack. And, so he;ll be a great challenge for us. I think he's a heck of a football player. Got a lot of respect for him.”
