With all-everything quarterback Tequan Thomas Tequan Thomas 5'11" | 155 lbs | QB Linden | 2024 NJ off to play college ball, in all likelihood I anticipate Tyrone Hinton Tyrone Hinton 5'11" | 225 lbs | QB Linden | 2025 State NJ being a huge feature of Linden’s offense. In the mean time, however, Hinton was an integral part of their 33 stack front last fall. Hinton made 100 stops (20 solo), 6 TFLs, and 2 sacks on the year.

One thing that Hinton clearly brings is speed to a defense. He does a nice job reacting and adjusting to bubbles and rockets after he is moving in the opposite direction. He does this, too, without getting too far displaced upfield. His speed is something that Linden sees as an advantage as he has been asked to play QB spy at times. With his speed, Hinton has timing too, particularly along the goal line where he made more than a few key stops.

Awfully physical with oncoming ball carriers, Hinton can wreak havoc in the run game and when rushing the passer. He is fast and quick, slanting violently and at full speed, which makes offensive linemen feel as if they are facing a whirlwind against their defensive scheme. Hinton can stand to become more efficient in his movements. Whether it be reading keys or playing pass-to-run, Hinton’s numbers will explode should this area improve.
