"J Money": Georgia signee Zayden Walker shares reaction to 2x SEC Champion declaring for the NFL Draft

Zayden Walker, a five-star linebacker from Ellaville, Georgia, announced his commitment to the Georgia Bulldogs in June last year. He chose the program over other top schools such as South Carolina, Miami, Florida State and Alabama.

Walker is now part of the Georgia family and he wasted no time in appreciating his fellow Bulldog, the former five-star edge rusher Mykel Williams, after he declared for the NFL Draft. Walker had a small but crisp reaction to Williams' declaration.

The defenseman took to his Instagram story and shared Williams' recent post about declaring for the draft and thanking the Bulldogs' fanbase for their support.
