Cole Linehan brings disruptive interior toughness to Oregon's defensive front
Cole Linehan is a physical, high-motor **defensive tackle** for Oregon whose value shows up in run defense, interior disruption, and early-down toughness; Oregon noted that he was the team's **second-leading tackler among defensive linemen** before injury sidelined him, and ESPN lists **25 solo tackles** and **4 sacks** in his career. [1][2] He fits best as a blue-collar, tone-setting lineman who can help a defense win on effort and leverage more than flash, with the main question being durability after an injury-related setback.
