Zeke Walkup Zeke Walkup 6'4" | 230 lbs | EDGE/DL Cannon Co. | 2027 State TN is an exciting small school edge prospect as he has an intriguing skillset with very good length, a strong frame and natural athleticism.

He has a strong 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds frame and he uses it to generate power at the point of attack with his heavy hands as he consistently gets the first strike with his length and athleticism.

He has experience as both a stand-up edge and a hand-in-dirt defensive end and has had success in both. He might project best with his hand in the dirt as he packs on more weight at the next level with his ability to win in the run game especially.

He is far and away better than everyone he faces at the 2A level and when he gets to the next level, it could come with a sharp learning curve in relation to the speed of the game.

However, he plays with good body control and technique, relying on that to win reps instead of just being more athletic than everyone else. He will need to put in work with the strength staff to improve his short-area quickness and add weight on to his strong frame.

He might be a year out from making an impact at the next level, but all the intangibles are there for a defensive line and strength coach to mold into a productive defensive end in their front for multiple years at the college level.
