Mr. Trump highlighted Mr. Walker's athletic record as qualifying him for the position, along with his role in the Trump administration as a co-chairman of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.
Trump said, 'Herschel has spent decades serving as an ambassador to our nation's youth, our men and women in the military, and athletes at home and abroad.'
Despite concerns from some Republicans about Mr. Walker's personal history, Trump endorsed him early in the Senate campaign, clearing a path through the primary.
Mr. Walker's relationship with Mr. Trump stretches back to the early 1980s, when the football star joined the New Jersey Generals, a United States Football League team then owned by Mr. Trump.
