Navy freshman LB E.J. Walker brings size, upside, and a depth-chart climb
E.J. Walker is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound freshman linebacker for Navy in 2026, listed as a defender to watch as he settles into the Midshipmen’s system. His appeal is straightforward: he brings enough size for the position, a fresh-body athletic profile, and the kind of Navy-ready versatility that can matter on special teams and in a physical, assignment-heavy defense. Because there were no current season stats available, the real draw is projection — if you want a linebacker with developmental upside, Walker looks like a strong fit.
