His 48 blocked shots rank tied for the 18th most in program history...Notched his second-career double-double in the season finale at Texas A&M (March 23) with 10 points and 11 rebounds, capping off a stretch of six games in double figures to close the season...Scored 16 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and procured two steals on a near perfect 5-of-6 shooting from the field and 4-of-4 from the free throw line in the NIT victory over VCU (March 19)...Led the team with 17 points, seven rebounds, a pair of blocks, and seven makes on seven attempts from the charity stripe against Towson (March 16)...Compiled back-to-back 20-plus point games against Louisville (22 points, Feb. 26) and on senior night versus NC State (20 points and 12 rebounds, March 2) to close out the regular season. Connected on a career-high four triples against Louisville and shot 8-of-9 from the field in both contests...Scored 17 points and drilled three makes from downtown at Duke (Feb. 15)...Tallied 16 points on a perfect 6-for-6 mark from the field including three triples against Pittsburgh (Feb. 2)...Scored nine points, tied a career-high with four assists, swatted four shots and slammed the overtime-clinching dunk to help guide the team to victory over Syracuse (Jan. 9)...Shot 7-of-10 from the floor and scored 17 points in his ACC debut against Virginia Tech (Dec. 4)...Scored six points, grabbed four boards and blocked a career-best four shots in his Wake Forest debut against William & Mary (Nov. 10).

2019-20 Season (Junior at Colorado): Saw action in 28 games averaging just over six minutes per contest. Finished with 45 points and 32 rebounds while shooting 42 percent from the field. His numbers began to increase in the latter portion of the season as he continued his large climb back from an ACL tear that forced him to miss the previous season. He scored 28 of his season's 45 points over the final 10 games and made 15 of his last 25 field goal attempts (.600). Had his best weekend in the home sweep of the Washington schools, averaging 7.0 points while shooting 60 percent (6 of 10) from the floor. Made all three shots against Washington State (1/23) and pulled down a season-best four rebounds in 12 minutes. Saw his first action since March 2018 in the season-opening win over Arizona State (11/8) in Shanghai, China, pulling down a pair of rebounds.

2018-19 Season (Sophomore at Colorado): Missed the season after suffering a torn ACL in his right knee during preseason practice in October.

2017-18 Season (Redshirt Freshman at Colorado): Averaged 5.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in just under 19 minutes per game. He led Colorado with 34 blocked shots, ranking 10th in the Pac-12 Conference. All but seven of his blocks came during conference play, ranking sixth in the league during that span (1.4 bpg). Saw limited action in the first six games of the season but was inserted into the starting lineup when senior forward Tory Miller-Stewart went down with a season-ending injury. He made his initial start at Colorado State (12/2), scoring six points and grabbing three rebounds in 16 minutes. He would go on to start 25 of 26 games, coming off the bench against Iowa (12/22), a game in which he scored a then personal-best 13 points on 6 of 10 shooting. Played a major role in one of the biggest wins of the season, scoring 15 points on a perfect 7 of 7 from the field against No. 14/16 Arizona (1/6), playing toe-to-toe with the Wildcats' formidable front court of Deandre Ayton, the future No. 1 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, and Dusan Ristic, a solid veteran 7-footer. Scored 13 points and had a team season-best four blocked shots at home against Washington (1/20). Set a career-high with 16 points at Washington State (2/15) hitting 8 of 8 from the free throw line, matching the team's season-best in that category. Made 5 of 13 3-pointers on the season, in fact his first collegiate points came on a 3-pointer vs. Denver (11/14). Earned the team's Most Improved Player Award at the end of the season.

2016-17 Season (Freshman at Colorado): Sat out the 2016-17 season as a redshirt in the Colorado program, fully participating in team activities and practices.

He earned All-Jefferson County Conference first team honors as a senior averaging 16.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocked shots for the Wildcats. He helped Arvada West to a 17-9 overall record and a spot in the “Sweet 16” of the Colorado Class 5A State Tournament. Walton had 14 double-doubles in 26 games recording season highs of 24 points against George Washington and 18 rebounds against Smoky Hill. He shot 61 percent from the field and 73 percent from the free throw line earning honorable mention to the Class 5A All-State team. His senior year was even more impressive considering he missed his entire junior season after two ACL tears in his left knee within 10 months of each other. Walton played club basketball for the Chauncey Billups Elite Basketball Academy from seventh grade through 10th grade, helping the team win a national championship at the 2014 Jayhawk Invitational.
