Kevin Walton brings veteran ball-hawking energy to the Lobos secondary
Kevin Walton is a safety for New Mexico whose value shows up in the dirty work: he’s a proven tackler with a nose for the ball, and in 2002 he posted a career-high 7 tackles in a double-overtime win over Utah while New Mexico’s defense leaned on him across the middle. He reads as a steady, physical defensive back who can help stabilize a secondary, especially if your team wants a player with toughness and awareness rather than just flash. The big question is fit: he looks like a reliable anchor, not a highlight-reel gamble.
