Freshman linebacker to watch in Lindenwood’s front seven
Preston Hunt is a 2026 freshman linebacker at Lindenwood listed at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, and the early read is that he’s a developmental add with length, mobility, and room to grow into the position. His profile suggests a classic upside target: young, active, and still building the strength and processing needed to hold up consistently at the college level. The good fit case is obvious for a program looking to mold raw athletic traits rather than buy a finished product; the downside is that publicly available stat production is still limited, so he looks more like a projection than a proven weekend game-wrecker.
