Syracuse DL Steve Linton Enters Transfer Portal

Syracuse football is losing one of its defensive lineman that played all season as part of the core rotation, according to multiple reports. Defensive end Steve Linton has elected to enter the transfer portal. He had 22 tackles, six tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries in 2022 as one of the best pass rushers on the team. 

Linton is the sixth Syracuse player to enter the portal and second defensive lineman. Fellow defensive lineman Josh Hough is also in the portal along with three wide receivers (Dom Foster, Anthony Queeley and Courtney Jackson) and offensive lineman Tyler Magnuson.
