Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
One of the biggest stock-risers during this developing 2023 season in America’s Heartland, Goodland High School’s 6’6, 220 lb. TE Linkon Cure is having a heckuva start to his junior season on both the gridiron and recruiting trail. Since September rolled around, Cure has added offers from Penn State, Wisconsin, Purdue, Vanderbilt, Nebraska, Michigan, Florida, Illinois, Texas A&M, and Auburn. Need I say more? That’s quite a list of heavyweight programs from the best conferences P5 football has to offer, and although Cure saw his recruitment kick off in June with offers from Kansas State, Iowa State, Mizzou, and Kansas, things have surely ramped up a notch and he’s now a legitimate national recruit right on the cusp of blue-chip status. The tape speaks for itself, as the 6’6, 220 lber. is an absolute freak, especially with the ball in hand. I don’t use the term “freaky” very often, and for good reason, but Cure absolutely fits the mold and possesses speed, lateral agility, and overall movement skills very rarely seen in a body of his size. Cure is a devastating weapon in the passing game, and as a testament to how dangerous he is as a ball carrier, also returns kicks. He’s electric with the ball in hand and can spin, slip through, cut past, and break tackles in as many eye-catching ways as you can think of. He’s also capable of winning contested catches over triple-teams and reeling in receptions through contact, breaks off his routes very well has rare quickness for a kid of his size and age, and has the speed to take the top off the defense and hawk down loose ball carriers 60+ yards downfield as a DE. Seeing a 6’6, 220 lb. receiver cut on a dime like he can does not get old, and I cannot imagine how defenses in small-town Kansas feel trying to contain him. The simple answer is they can’t. He’s bound and built for the highest levels of college football. What a monster!
