Big, tough, physical DE with very good athleticism who can do it all. Plays with really good technique, pad level, and great effort. Holds 10 offers from FCS and G5 programs.

Plays DE, has the frame to grow into a DT, but could possibly be a 280-pound DT/DE combo – only time will tell. Had 12 tackles, 1 TFL, and 1 sack against Johnson.

Simply too powerful to block one-on-one and can easily take/beat double teams. Even at 360, Walden actually has surprisingly solid foot quickness and sneaky athleticism that could definitely improve with better conditioning and changing his body composition. Plays with high pad level but his power is overwhelming at both NT and OG. Had 6 tackles and 1 TFL last week against Johnson. Squats 700 and bench presses 415, so powerlifting might be his future. However, there's a place for guys like Walden in college football with the right scheme and strength u0026amp; conditioning staff.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f75ec64e515"} /-->
