Happy Saturday Husky fans. The Huskies are about to kick off their first batch of official visits next weekend, but before we dive into that tomorrow I was able to catch up with one of the top defensive back prospects on the Huskies board recently. 4 star composite safety Jayden Walk-Green from Corona Centennial HS, CA has been one of the top safeties the Huskies have been after and they are battling a handful of schools like ASU, and UCLA. Listed at 5’11” and around 180 pounds Walk-Green has a knack for making plays on the ball and last season he totaled 10 interceptions last season and 125 total tackles. He’s set to visit UW on June 5th.
UWDP: UW has been recruiting you for a while. What is your impression of the staff and the university?
My impression of the staff has been really positive. They’ve been genuine and consistent throughout the recruiting process, and I can tell they care about building relationships with players. The university itself stands out because of the combination of academics, athletics.
UWDP: It sounds like you may try and play baseball at the school you commit to. Is that something you are looking at?
It’s definitely something I’m considering. Baseball has been a big part of my life, and if the opportunity is there to compete in both sports at the next level.
UWDP: Besides UW what other schools are you looking at?
I’ve been talking to Vanderbilt, ASU, UCLA,and Kansas State.
UWDP: How does UW envision you fitting into their defense?
They see me as a versatile player who can make plays in space and contribute in multiple ways defensively. They’ve talked a lot about my athleticism and ability to read the game.
UWDP: What are you looking for in a school you commit to?
I’m looking for a place where I feel comfortable with the coaching staff, have a strong opportunity to develop as a player and person, and can compete and play at a high level early.
UWDP: How would you describe yourself as a player?
I’d describe myself as competitive, physical, and a ballhawk. I take pride in being the best on the field.
Right now I like where the Huskies stand with Walk-Green and he’s a name to monitor in the coming weeks.
