John Walker
UCF
Recruiting Class of 2023
As a College Recruit
Compactly-built enforcer along the defensive front who wreaks havoc on interior offensive linemen with his knock-back ability. Measures in at right around 6-foot-2, 300 pounds with a 33-inch arm and an elite 6-foot-10 wingspan. Shows impressive raw power and strength in his hands. Naturally plays low to the ground due to his stature. Does an excellent job of initiating contact due to arm length. Sneaky athletic with his quickness, resulting in a quality get off. Jumped a 26-inch vertical and ran a 4.69 second shuttle with a 7.43 3-cone this spring prior to his senior season. Showed his ability as an interior pass rusher as a junior tallying 13 sacks. Lacks ideal stature for the position but has compensatory length. One of the older prospects in the 2023 recruiting cycle.
Reminds Us Of
John Walker reminds us of Tim Settle due to his body type and disruptive playing style as an attacking defensive lineman. Both Walker and Settle are shorter, compact defensive tackles with compensatory length and quick first steps.
