Height: 6’5”

Hometown: Dublin, GA
High School: Dublin
2019 stats: Recorded 2 tackles in three games last year, all while preserving his redshirt for the season. Gotta love that rule change.
2020 projections: Linton moved positions from defensive end to linebacker this season, even though he added ten plus pounds to his frame with a year of college strength and conditioning. It seems he’ll slot into that hybrid LB/DE position of the new defense, similar to Tyrell Richards.
