Scouting Report
Walker is a clear cut developmental prospect. Don’t expect him to see the field early in his career, as he needs to continue to add strength and refine his pass coverage technique. But what makes Walker a prospect worth a scholarship are his speed and explosiveness. He is one of the top track athletes in the state of Minnesota, and his speed enables him to go step for step with opposing team’s best receivers. His ball skills translate on both sides of the ball, as he has shown playmaking ability as both a cornerback and a wide receiver. If he can continue to improve his route-mirroring and hip-turning on shorter routes, Walker could excel in press man coverage.
