About Finn
Expert Analysis
Alin Edouard | Prep Redzone Scout
Walker is a defensive lineman who brings a strong, physical presence at the point of attack and consistently plays with a competitive edge. He stands out for his ability to hold his ground against the run, showing good lower-body strength and leverage that allows him to absorb contact without getting displaced. When he’s locked in, he does a solid job controlling his gap and forcing plays to bounce outside.
What makes Walker effective is his combination of effort and awareness. He stays active through blocks, keeps his feet moving, and rarely gives up on a play early. That motor shows up in pursuit, where he works hard down the line of scrimmage and consistently finds ways to get involved near the football. He also shows improving hand usage, which helps him create separation and avoid being completely tied up by offensive linemen.
In pass-rush situations, Walker flashes moments where his strength can collapse the pocket, especially when he gains inside leverage.

Read EvaluationAlin Edouard | Prep Redzone Scout
Finn is a defensive lineman who stands out for how advanced his hand usage is, especially when working through offensive linemen in both the run and pass game. On film, he consistently wins reps not just with strength or speed, but with timing and technique—his hands are always the first thing that shows up when he engages a blocker.
He uses quick, controlled strikes to shock linemen at contact, then follows with active swipes and rip moves to clear himself from blocks. Instead of staying stuck in contact, he creates separation early in the rep, which allows him to get into the backfield or reset the line of scrimmage. You can see him consistently winning the leverage battle because his hands stay disciplined and purposeful rather than wild or reactive.
Against the pass, Finn’s hand placement helps him stay effective even when he doesn’t win clean off the snap. He works through protection with second-effort moves, keeps fighting through contact, and uses his hands to redirect blockers and close down space. That consistency leads to pressure, disrupted timing, and plays collapsing from the inside out. Finn holds offers by Arizona, SMU,Arkansas, Baylor , Colorado.
