Connor Walker's first steps

Cassell's Corner

On September 28, Marlborough High 2017 graduate Connor Walker could feel his legs. A day later, the Saint Anselm sophomore football player could not.

Following a spinal cord injury in a game against Southern Connecticut, Connor was rushed to the hospital when he couldn't feel or move his body. Roughly three days later, he finally regained full feeling in his upper body but still can't feel his lower half to this day.

Connor, along with his father, Robbie Walker, joined host Tommy to talk about the events of Sept. 29, the diagnosis, the rehab and now the future.

Connor and his father also chatted with Tommy about the community outreach, Connor's plans moving forward and even discussed the "pimp mobile" that Connor would like to drive again someday.
