"There are few high school football players in Southern California who have made a greater impact for their team than junior Jaden Walk-Green of Corona Centennial. Playing strong safety, he has eight interceptions, with four returned for touchdowns. He returned a fumble for a touchdown. He's also the kicker, punter and return man for kickoffs and punts. He has returned one punt for a touchdown. He can play receiver, running back and quarterback if needed. He's also the starting center fielder for the baseball team."
"He has so much sports equipment and so many shoes in his closet from all the sports he's tried that he could put on a garage sale. Centennial coach Matt Logan was nice enough to show World Series games on the school's videoboard during football practices so Walk-Green could keep track of the Dodgers. "You intentionally walk Shohei Ohtani four times in one game. That's respect," he said."
