Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 83.95 (Starter)

Pro Comparison: Alan Branch

Summary

Deone Walker is a uniquely built interior defender with a plus-athletic profile. He has good upper body strength to stack and shed blockers, but he naturally struggles with leverage as a result of his height, which can create problems in run defense. There are moments where the defensive tackle throws blockers out of his path and then other times in which he is blocked by a single player with ease. Walker shows a swim move as a rusher and has good grip strength to finish plays.

About

Three-time second-team All-SEC (2022, 2023, 2024)
Two-time team captain (2023, 2024)

Strengths

Good first-step quickness to climb, reach and seal off backside pursuit
Good patience and athleticism working through his pass sets
Good job adjusting his feet when engaged

Weaknesses

Will lean on opponents and run his feet on contact in the run game, but must do a better job sustaining blocks
Occasionally opens his hips too early and gives up the angle to the quarterback
Balance issues arise when he leans too much in his stance
