Walters was suspended from the team in 1995 based on allegations that he accepted money from a sports agent. He missed the last nine games of the 1995 season and the first three games of the 1996 season due to the suspension.[4] In October 1996, Walters was cleared by the NCAA of any rules violations.[5]
During his time at USC, Walters totaled 2,019 rushing yards and scored 23 touchdowns.[1]
Walters was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Kansas City Chiefs. He was released by the Chiefs on August 13, 1997, during training camp. [6]
Walters blamed the scandal for his inability to sign with a professional team. He later recalled: "It totally destroyed my career. . . . That stigma from USC was following me. I don't think anybody wanted to deal with something like that."[4]
