Pratt has garnered some college interest this off-season and claims an offer from D2 WV State, but it will be great to get him on our radar more at the combine. You can tell he's a quality athlete just from watching his film and is a multi-sport athlete for the Knights with a wrestling and track background u003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003etoou003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e.

He also appears to be a fluid athlete who should test well at the combine and looks good on film covering ground and playing in space.

That's what we'll be looking for in the 1-on-1s segment of the camp against some talented fellow linemen who should create some great battles in the trenches. Our biggest question that we'll want answered for him is what his measurements will be. Chapman is listed as considerably bigger now than the previous measurements we had for him, so u003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003egetting those confirmedu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e will be very beneficial to determine what his ceiling can be. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["1241428"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eAnother prospect new to our radar is Fairmont Senior's [player_tooltip player_id='1241428' first='Colin' last='Walker'] u003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003ewhou003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e we'll get familiar with at the combine.

An event like the combine will be a good opportunity for Walker to get his name out there more and show what he is capable of while playing on a deep and very talented Fairmont Senior squad where the competition for playing time is fierce. Even reserve players on talented teams can earn college opportunities at events like this when playing time and film are limited. With small colleges in attendance, Walker could make himself known with good testing numbers and a u003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003estrongu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e overall performance. u003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eAs someone with no film available right now, our question for Walker will be to see what u003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003ehe's able to do and does his athleticism matchu003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e up well with his quality size?u003c/spanu003eu003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003e u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":9,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6621648a50463"} /-->
