Cooper Walton brings proven tackling production and edge pressure to Montana’s linebacker room
Walton is a productive, physical linebacker with a track record of impacting games in multiple ways: at Roosevelt High School he posted 94 tackles, 5 sacks, and 1 interception in 2021-22, and his college bio notes elite prep credentials with 386 career tackles, 49 tackles for loss, and 13 sacks. At 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds, he projects as a downhill, tone-setting defender who can finish plays and flash pass-rush value; the big question is translating that high-volume production into consistent Mountain West/FCS-level impact at Montana.
