Aundrey Walker (Southern Cal Signee)

[bigdog3300]

I've been reading by Duane Long that Walker is overrated and didn't look dominate in their big games, any reason for that, or is that just a personal opinion?

No offense to DL, but personally, I wonder if he has watched Walker extensively. If anything, I'd say he steps it up in big games. His performance against Thomas Jefferson as a sophomore was nothing short of complete domination of a power program. On top of that, he's a hard worker.....scouts and coaches have raved about his work in scrimmages even.

There are definitely some things he needs to work on (mental lapses where he gives up leverage), but when you see what he can do when it's working - he's an animal.

Re: Walker, an excellent student in the classroom.

That's great to hear. Keep "hitting the books" just as hard as you hit the blocking sleds Aundrey. :)

OhioVarsity.com - Bentley Academy helps linemen flourish (free)

One of Bentley's long-time disciples has been standout offensive lineman Aundrey Walker, a product of local Cleveland powerhouse Glenville High. Walker, who is one of the top offensive linemen in the state for the Class of 2011, boasts more than 20 scholarship offers from some of the top programs in the country. But the blue chip prospect knows he wouldn't be where he is currently without Bentley's instruction.

"Two years ago I met LeCharles at school and he saw potential in me," said Walker, who has been working with Bentley since his sophomore year when the Academy opened. "Now he is like a big brother to me."

Walker is one of the most herculean players in the state, if not the entire country. At 6-foot-5, 355-pounds, one of the areas that Walker has benefited from is implementation of proper diet in order to keep his weight under control.

"He's been on me, seriously," Walker said. "I was down on a visit to Pitt (with LeCharles) and stepped on a scale. Once he saw the weight he said, 'Dre, we got to lose some pounds.' He's always told me that size doesn't matter and it's more about technique and wanting to dominate someone every play."

Big Ohio OT had to grow up fast; U-M, MSU are in the mix | detnews.com | The Detroit News

Sam Webb / Special to The Detroit News

Fear is never an emotion to be openly expressed on a football field, but there is little doubt the sight of Cleveland Glenville offensive tackle Aundrey Walker has often elicited such a response from his opponents.

Ranked a four-star prospect and the No. 24 offensive tackle in the country by Scout.com, Walker is arguably the most physically intimidating player in his class. Checking in at a massive 6-foot-6 and 355 pounds, he is an overpowering force in the trenches.

Away from the gridiron, however, he is a gentle giant who takes great pride in eschewing the stereotypical behavior of big time athletes. Those who know him best identify his disarming wit, intense seriousness about academics, and devotion to his family as his defining character traits. That's a far cry from the likely perception just four short years ago.

"Hands down, all I can say is that I just love the Buckeyes," he stated matter-of-factly. "There is just nothing else to say. I love them. That's all I can say. At the same time, I do not want you to think there is a Glenville pipeline (to Ohio State). It is not that. (The decision) is just going to be weighed on of what is the best opportunity for me, the best education, and which school put me in the best position to be successful in life."
