Devin Walton brings subpackage speed and ball-hawking upside to Southern Illinois
Walton is a **sophomore cornerback** for Southern Illinois who has mostly played on special teams so far, appearing in 8 games in 2024 and recording 1 tackle, but his profile is bigger than the stat line. Southern Illinois highlights his multi-sport speed background, and his prep resume includes a fourth-quarter interception of Arch Manning in a state semifinal, which points to real playmaking instincts in high-leverage moments. He looks like a strong fit for teams that value fast, competitive defensive backs with upside, special-teams value, and room to grow into a larger coverage role.[2][9]
