Christian Walden Christian Walden 5'11" | 170 lbs | RB Southwestern | 2024 State KY is an incoming senior that stood out to me this past season. He had an impressive junior season, carrying the ball 130 times for 1,157 yards and 15 touchdowns. While those are great numbers, they could be even higher this coming season as he won’t be sharing the backfield with Tanner Wright Tanner Wright 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Southwestern | 2023 State KY anymore. He has great vision, showing the ability to find the running lane and come downhill in a hurry. Once he hits the open field, Walden has blazing speed, showing the ability to simply run away from the defense. Walden also has shown that he is a threat in the passing game, catching 18 passes for 174 yards last season. Christian doesn’t currently hold any offers but I expect some to come his way soon as he has the talent to play somewhere at the next level.
