Professional football focus’ Trevor Sikkema Compiled His list of eight recruits which should “redrash” during their recruited season in 2025. And among these eight players, two were members of the Indianapolis ‘colts’ Recruit class.

“The biggest question mark with the Doré is his strength,” wrote Sikkema. “His weight (190 pounds) ranks in the 24th centile for the post, and this appears in his tackle and his hand fight against larger receivers. Giving a year of Walley to become stronger could give a starting caliber player in 2026.”
At the college level last season, missed tackles were a big problem for Walley, which missed 19.2% of his tackle attempts, According to Pff. However, he has a very good speed, performing a 4.40 second 40, and some of the features he has, in particular his tenacity, his intellect and his instinct, as described by the colt scout, Tyler Hughes, can help Walley overcome being lighter for a cornerback of the NFL.
In addition, given how Chris Ballard reshaped the corner of the corner half during the offseason, it is not a necessity either that the week of the start of Golden 1, potentially giving it the ability to develop this year as long as the colts remain healthy.
The second choice of recovery of the colts that Sikkema mentioned was the offensive platform Jalen Travis, which was selected in the fourth round.

“The blocking note of 58.9 PFF of Travis in 2024 has shown that it still needed work to transform this explosiveness into a real power that evolves people,” Sikkema wrote. “The right tackle of the Braden Smith colts will be 30 years old and a free off -season agent.”
As we detailed, Travis was one of the best passes in passing last season by PFF metrics. But a setback, as Sikkema notes, there is room for improving the racing game.
With Braden Smith and Bernhard Raimann, Travis does not need to start, but he could end up being the first swing option of the colts out of the bench.
