About Lincoln
Expert Analysis
Sam Erman | Prep Redzone Scout
Tomlinson is a true two-way player who impacts the game in multiple phases. Offensively, he shows good vision, runs with purpose, and maintains solid pad level through contact. I liked his balance, consistently finishing runs and creating extra yardage. The production backs it up with 748 yards and 17 TDs. Defensively, he brings strong instincts and a natural nose for the football, playing downhill and delivering physical hits. He’s been a consistent run stuffer with 30 TFL over the past two years. With his toughness and production on both sides, he projects as a focal point for his team moving forward.

Following a strong freshman season, Lincoln Tomlinson Lincoln Tomlinson KY picked up right where he left off in 2025. On defense, he lined up at outside linebacker where he was very impressive against the run. Tomlinson does a great job of reading his keys effectively then using his speed to get to the ball carrier in a hurry. He has proven to be a very reliable open field tackler, finishing this past season with a team-leading 149 tackles and 16 tackles for loss in 14 games. Lincoln also finished his sophomore year with 2.5 sacks and an interception, and made a huge impact on offense, running the ball 113 times for 726 yards and 16 touchdowns while also catching 16 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns. Tomlinson is a player who I expect college coaches to have their eyes on heading into his junior year.

Lincoln Tomlinson Lincoln Tomlinson KY is a player who made an immediate impact as a freshman. Tomlinson lines up at outside linebacker where he is dominant against the run. He does a great job of diagnosing the play quickly then using his speed to get to the ball carrier before they can get going. Once he gets to the ball carrier, he does a good job of running his feet through contact to secure the tackle, finishing this past season with 107 tackles and 19 tackles for loss in 12 games. He has also proven to be reliable when asked to blitz, timing the snap count perfectly to shoot through his gap to get to the passer, finishing his freshman year with five sacks. Tomlinson also came away with one interception and returned it for a touchdown as a freshman. Lincoln has received some college interest and I expect his recruitment to continue to heat up heading into his sophomore year.
