00:00He's probably a little bit better than I thought he was, and I thought he was pretty good.
00:03So he's done very well, incredibly professional in his approach.
00:07He's one of those guys, like, you plug him in there, and even in the beginning of spring,
00:11it looks like he's, like, been with us, like, forever.
00:14Like, if you came out here to watch this, you wouldn't know that he's just getting going, you know, with us and in our system.
00:18And so, no, he's done a really nice job.
00:21He and Elijah have developed a good rapport already, which has been good to see.
00:26He's a smart player.
00:27He gives us position flex, certainly has a bright future.
00:31What have you seen from Jaden Walker?
00:33Do you see him carving that role?
00:35100%.
00:36Jaden's been awesome.
00:37I think one of the real bright spots of spring.
00:41Not totally surprising, but, you know, he missed most of last year coming off the shoulder injury before he came in
00:46and got to play a little bit for us, obviously played a little bit in the bowl game,
00:50started to ramp him up at practice at the end of the year in bowl practice last year.
00:54And we were pretty impressed by, like, how he just jumped in and was ready to go.
00:58His body has dramatically changed.
01:00And he's just come out here more confident.
01:03And no question.
01:05I mean, he's going to help this football team a lot.
01:07And he's going to be a really bright, you know, a really bright player.
01:10He's going to be a really bright player.
