Starting off the defensive line for my 3A Regular Season All-State Team, I have the 3A leader in sacks, Tay’Shaun Linton Tay’Shaun Linton 6'2" | 235 lbs | DL Trigg County | 2024 State KY . The junior defensive end finished the regular season with 10.5 sacks along with 33 total tackles and eight tackles for loss. Linton plays with a high motor with a quick first step off the line of scrimmage as a pass rusher. He has shown the strength to power straight through blocks but also has shown the speed to run by offensive tackles and pass rush moves to defeat blocks. Once Linton gets to the quarterback, he finishes with a ton of physicality and makes sure he secures the sack. When the play is away from him, Linton takes great angles to the ball and is a very reliable open field tackler. While Linton doesn’t currently hold any offers, I expect him to pick up some going into his senior year as he has been receiving college interest and has the talent to play at the next level.
