This Hurricane currently has four players committed for the 2027 season, with one planning to reclassify to the 2026 season to get a head start on his football career. They are currently ranked as the No. 3 class but there is still another year of recruiting left for the Canes to maintain that position.

Linton is the first offensive lineman commit of the class, likely joining more as time moves forward.
