"He told me that he was really looking forward to getting
me on campus," added Marlon Walls. "I did not know that he wanted me
that bad, but he called me like 5 times after he left. I was not there but he
kept calling. Finally he got a hold of me and told me that he was going to build
his defense around me. That made me feel special."
One other thing
that made Marlon feel special was this.
"I was the first person he
went and saw for an inhome visit. That pretty much told me all that I needed to
know. The only question I really had was how important I was going to be to him.
I did not expect him to be that excited about me. He is just a real down to earth
cat."
Anymore questions that the MS/Al All-Star selection have for
Coach Nutt?
"I asked him how tough he was going to be, and he told
me pretty tough. That is what I wanted to hear. We have the same goals and that
is to get this thing turned around as soon as possible."
Does this
visit solidify Walls' commitment to Ole Miss?
"Oh yea, I am keeping
my commitment to Ole Miss. You know I have been a Rebel at heart for a long time
now."
Marlon has been pretty active in talking to the rest of the
Ole Miss recruits; will that continue?
"That's funny you asked that.
Coach Nutt said a lot of the recruits were asking about me and asking if I was
staying with my commitment. I did not know I was that important. I told him that
I am going to round us up one of the best groups in the country."
Walls
has had a few more colleges come by his school this week.
"Tennessee
and Louisville came by this week. MSU came last week. Tennessee told me that Coach
Fulmer was coming to see me Monday. I set up an official visit with them on January
11th and Louisville on January 18th. I am still going to Ole Miss on January 25th.
I told Tennessee and Louisville that I was willing to talk to them but I know
this is my final decision."
Marlon finished the season with 128 tackles,
32 hurries, 10 sacks, and 7 forced fumbles.
