As a College Recruit

The early front-runner for top EDGE prospect in the 2025 cycle as a rising junior. An unverified 6-foot-2, 220 pounds. Flashes a high-end combination of on-field athleticism and functional play strength. Lines up in both two and three-point stances off the edge. Shows noticeable first-step quickness off the snap. Very strong at the point of attack. Plays with excellent leverage and uses his strong lower body to move offensive linemen both as a bull rusher and run defender. Makes some eye-popping plays in pursuit, showcasing high-end athleticism in tracking down ball carriers from the back side. Doubles as a dangerous running back, using his athleticism and strength to pick up yards after contact. Helped his team to a state title appearance as a sophomore.

Zayden Walker (No. 5) looks like the top EDGE prospect early on. Walker was an explosive presence on both sides of the ball, leading Ellaville (Ga.) Schley County to a state title appearance as a sophomore. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder has outstanding play strength and is a violent finisher. He flashes high-end on-field athleticism with noticeable first step quickness and the ability to chase down plays in backside pursuit. We also see the athleticism on offense, where he doubles as a dangerous running back.
