Miami has landed a commitment in the 2027 class from 6-foot-6, 300-pound offensive lineman Zaquan Linton, a three-star prospect.

Christian Proscia of EraPrep on Twitter was the first to report the news of the three-star prospect:

I had a chance to speak with Linton after his commitment to the Hurricanes, and here is what he said:

“Knowing I was gonna play at a legendary staff and great school,” Linton said about the Hurricanes' staff. “Miami has produced some of the best linemen, and that’s where I need to be.”

 

Yes you are right now. Not sure if you will be correct after his SR year when he signs. Obviously, this was a trajectory pick up as the kid is 15 years old. I don’t think Cantwell was on the National stage at 15 either.

Again, thanks.

“It’s dominant, and I want to be a part of it, and I feel like that’s the place to go to be a great offensive lineman,”

Smart kid , Miami has always had the best interest of its players and families at heart.

There isn’t another college in the country I’d rather be a player at then Miami , I said this 50 plus years ago as a player of interest of Miami and I still mean it today at 68 .

Assuming he has good footspeed, technique will fix this problem. These drills are really hard on OL without pads.

He looked better at G than T, but I still think your points stand.

Yeah he's pretty raw. Great frame and seems to move well. Needs to time his punch better and strike with conviction. No idea what his current schools coaching looks like but hope to see him make a big jump over the summer.

Consistent with @DMoney feedback on the podcast.

A lot will depend on how Linton reshapes his body moving forward. He also needs to improve his footwork as well as his bend. Linton was up and down in 1v1’s but flashed in individual drills. He’s a bit of a project but there is a lot to work with.

 

@DMoney camp breakdown

OT Zaquan Linton (Palm Beach Central) looked the part at 6'5, 290+ with little bad weight. He struggled with his footwork in competitive drills and lost several reps. However, he competed and stayed engaged. At this stage, Linton looks like a developmental prospect with tools.​
