Walker appears as the sixth-best defender in the Rankings and is 18th overall after the last update. He’s part of Marcus’ varsity high school team and represents the Dallas Texans in the ECNL league at the club level. Capable of playing in central defense and as a right back, Walker relies on his excellent positioning and superior athleticism to shut opponents down, keeping them under pressure and challenging them at the right times. The center back does well in the air, too, and is very hard to beat 1v1 because of his great instincts and mobility.

This spot is reserved for the whole Dallas Texans back four as a unit. They were excellent in the round of 16 game against Tulsa SA. Walker is a contributor all over the field. He is a target in the box on corner kicks. He also has a long throw-in that is a dangerous weapon for his side. Defensively, he is excellent in man marking and can shut down a variety of forwards – from speedy wingers to bruising center forwards. Left back Axel Alvarado Axel Alvarado 5'9" | F Wakeland | 2027 State TX and right back Charles Westmoreland Charles Westmoreland D TX were standouts too. Alvarado’s defensive qualities are definitely worth highlighting. He has excellent tactical awareness and positions himself to see the mark and ball. He is very good at intercepting the pass and just being a general nuisance. Westmoreland is a fearless attacking outside back. He flies down the touch line and creates numerical overloads for his side. Fellow center back Ethan Ortiz Ethan Ortiz 6'0" | D/M Frisco Heritage | 2028 State TX is the perfect partner for Walker and the duo has been outstanding in the ECNL Playoffs with two shutouts from four games.
