Walton one to keep an eye on.

He's got all the goods.

He'll be one of the top RB's in the country his SR year.

Instead I will start with who will be carrying the ball for the Glenville next season. Robert Walton is the first name that comes to mind in the Glenville backfield. Walton got reps at RB as a sophomore and has the size and speed to be a terror for opponents this season. Breaking down his junior film will tell us if he is Ohio State material.

REALLY impressive sophmore film. He is obviously big and powerful, but he is also decisive and wastes no steps. He is surprisingly fast and eats up the yards before you know it. He needs to make sure he doesn't get too big and outgrow RB, as well as gain some more balance, as many of the tackles against him were shoelace. Overall this is a great prospect and I can't imagine Walton not being a big time target for us.

Boom Herron is a really easy comparison for me. Doesn't have great deep speed, but runs really hard and tough. Little bit of a short strider like Boom but not quite as pronounced.

All 4 prospects looked really good.

Walton is the type of RB that Tressel loves. Big, strong between the tackles with enough speed to pick up the yards when given the opportunity.

Did not know Tony Foster transferred.....geeze, Walton/Wynn/Foster.......what an amazing young RB group! This looks like the most talented G'ville team ever....and that's saying something, top to bottom.

Big fan of Sturdivant.....oh I'm so glad I live in Cleveland :)

* only saw the walton/foster film from them so far.....Walton has great vision, north/south with a one cut and go mentality, i like that. would like to see a little more top end speed, but ah i'm greedy! now if he had fosters speed.........wow can foster giddy'up!
