NLI ALERT: Ty Linton, Linebacker

The second verbal commitment to the Tar Heels is one of the last verbal commitments to actually send in his NLI. Ty Linton, an outside linebacker prospect from Charlotte Christian School in Charlotte, North Carolina is officially a Tar Heel.

Linton is a 3-star prospect, but don't let the conservative ranking fool you. Linton has great size for the position at 6'2, 215, and is a very good athlete. Linton is also a baseball star in high school, and he said that played a big part in where he wanted to go.

“It’s close to home, the coaching staff is unbelievable, it gives me the option of being a two-sport athlete, and you can’t beat the academics. It’s an all-around university. It fits my qualities. All a long I felt like I was pretty comfortable. They didn’t rush me too much. It feels like everything fits together baseball-wise and football-wise. I didn’t feel like I was pressured to make any decision. I just felt like it was the place for me.”

That's 15 NLIs out of 18 verbal commitments coming into National Signing Day, but this class still has a few spots open for an NSD verbal commitment, so stay tuned to H2TheBSOfA for the latest.
