Prospect Highlight: Belleville ’25 DB Adrian Walker Jr. Interview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Adrian is a stud DB with a chip on his shoulder! I've gotten to see him work a few times and I always come away more impressed than the last time. He sticks to his receivers as well as anyone, and has a nose for the ball. Beyond just grabbing the #1 spot on SC Top 10 for his behind the back interception, which we address in his interview below, he is typically always around the ball and making plays. This is a D1 level kid just starting to break into his full potential! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Let's get into our interview with [player_tooltip player_id='247692' first='Adrian' last='Walker Jr.'] now! </span></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What has changed in your life since your interception in the state championship game went viral? </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lot has changed!
