The Skinny

Walker recently announced he was headed to Notre Dame

The Analysis

The very familiar terms ‘tall, rangy wide receiver’ once again applies to this prospect. Walker did play some safety in high school and shows great ability in playing the high point position and patrolling the deep secondary. These strong ball skills also make him a playmaker in the vertical passing game.

He has good speed and has some ability to make people miss in the open field. He is not, however, a ‘quick-twitch’ kind of player. His speed will be more than adequate when combined with his ability to make the big play.

Walker is going to need to add some thickness as Division I athletes will throw him around without added weight. That raises another issue: level of competition. The players he was going up against were nowhere near his equal in athleticism.
