Jalon Walker

College-ready body with an already well-developed upper and lower body. Lean, muscular build with no bad weight at all. Lower body is well-proportioned and allows for him to have superior power and explosion on contact. With long levers is able to extend blockers on contact with the ability to disengage, shed, and get to the ball carrier.

Very instinctive and does a good job key diagnosing, whether the play is run or pass, and executing his assignment with little wasted movement. Understands how to stay on top of backs out of the backfield and to keep leverage on them. When in coverage vs. a tight end or a slot receiver, he is able to funnel where his help is in coverage and squeeze down on him.

Possessing excellent size and length also greatly benefits him as a blitzer, either on the edge or coming through the middle of the offensive line. Powerful, agile, and flexible enough to gain the edge or use his leverage, regardless of where he may be coming from. Excellent speed allows consistent sideline-to-sideline playmaking.

With his skill set and tools, he is someone who can play a number of different positions within the defense. Three-down linebacker who has the athleticism to never leave the field and can play Mike, Will, outside, or edge. Possesses the talent to be an early contributor in college with the ultimate level of his game ascending to being a high-round NFL Draft pick.
