Elite DT Transfers to Ohio State After Torn Meniscus Recovery
John Walker, UCF's all-time top-rated recruit and a 6-4, 324-lb trench bully, is joining Ohio State after missing the 2024 season with a torn meniscus but returning as a key starter in 2025. His differentiators include an unmatched intensity level that eats double teams, a 'trench bully' mentality, and two years of eligibility remaining. In 2025, he ranked sixth in total tackles (40) with 16 solo stops. Despite the injury, his recovery intensity and personality as a relentless force make him a perfect fit for any team needing a dominant interior presence. He's arguably the top DT of this transfer cycle, offering elite strength and a proven ability to dominate Friday nights.
