Syracuse women’s basketball has named Mykala Walker its first-ever general manager, the program announced in a press release Monday.
In the new position, Walker will manage scouting and recruiting, former student-athlete engagement, name, image and likeness opportunities and transfer portal management.
“Mykala will be a welcome addition to our program,” Syracuse head coach Felisha Legette-Jack said in the release. “Her body of work has prepared her for the work ahead. She is an incredible recruiter, detailed scout, organized and first-class representative of everywhere she has been involved.”
Walker joins Syracuse after spending three years as an assistant coach with Arizona State. During her tenure with the Sun Devils, Walker spearheaded NIL fundraising initiatives while managing ASU’s recruiting budget.

Walker has also held positions with Georgetown University, the Atlanta Hawks and NBA TV. She formerly played basketball at Wake Forest from 2009-13.
