Ole Miss walk-on linebacker with SEC pedigree and special-teams grit
Colton Walls brings a classic coach-pleaser profile: high football IQ, versatility, and the kind of competitive edge that usually shows up on special teams before it shows up in the box score. In the 2013 Ole Miss release, he was described as a sophomore linebacker and the son of former NFL tight end Wesley Walls, while later roster/biographical listings identify him at about 6-3 and 237 pounds with experience on defense and special teams. The appeal here is toughness and trustworthiness, not flash—exactly the sort of player who can carve out a role by doing the dirty work well.
