Get to Know Your Orange Man: #17, DL Steve Linton
Name: Steve Linton
Position: Defensive Lineman
Year: Redshirt Sophomore
Height: 6’5”

2021 stats: Linton missed the first four games of the season, but played seven of the last eight games for the Syracuse Orange. He recorded six tackles including a sack.
2022 projections: Linton doesn’t profile as your typical defensive lineman, but due to depth issues, he needs to start there. It’ll be interesting to see how Linton fares as the first person going up big offensive lineman, but he’s a capable edge rusher who can force an opposing quarterback into a mistake.
