When I saw his build I didn't see him as a DE but as a LB/DE rusher.
GA likes specimens on DL (Travon Walker 6' 5" 272 lb )
Seem that's what GA sees him as after running 4.6 40
"He was timed electronically in the 4.6 range and that number grabbed Georgia’s attention.
When he returned to UGA last month, he worked out again. There were different drills on his second visit. Shuttle drills. Other linebacker drills...
“It was really exciting for a time and then after like five days had passed and I started getting hit up by other schools,” Linton said. “Now, I was like ‘God I’m right back into it.’”
“They say they like him as a ‘Jack’ backer and a third-and-long go-get the quarterback kind of guy,” North Atlanta coach Jamie Aull said. “They feel like with his athleticism and speed and being able to bend the corner and his length, that he’s an instant pass rush guy.”
He said talking to other teams while being committed bothered him so he de-comitted to be able to talk . Seems like a conscientious kid and I know being close to home was a thing for him.
“It’s just really hard to think about other schools if a commitment means no talking or visits,” he told DawgNation on Saturday.
He basically felt it wasn’t right to consider or talk to other schools while he was still committed.
“Exactly,” he said. “It’s been wearing on me.”
4-star Georgia football recruiting target Chase Linton has now reset his recruiting process after decommitting from Rutgers. He's already got a school he plans to check out.

This sort of thing is why I wait until deep winter to pay attention to signings.
