Coach Jones on Walker: "We first noticed Ryan through our summer camp program here at Loyola. He quickly established himself as an extremely technical midfield player with a great feel for the game. Ryan has great vision and we feel as though he can help us in a variety of midfield positions. Ryan is an exceptional student, and high-class individual, who we expect to have an outstanding career here at Loyola."
