Cole Linehan: Back From OSU

Banks (Ore.) defensive lineman Cole Linehan took his third and final official visit this past weekend to Oregon State but said his decision was not made any easier.

Linehan, 6-4, 270 pounds had previously visited Oregon and Washington and had narrowed things down to the two in-state schools a few weeks ago. Despite his older brother Josh being a current member of the Beavers, Oregon has given Linehan a lot to think about.

“Coming in to this weekend, I was really considering Oregon hard and still am,” Linehan said. “Both of these two schools are about as even as you can be right now. I had a real good time this past weekend and it felt like home being at OSU. I hung out a lot with Josh and the basketball game was pretty exciting.

“This is actually harder than I thought it would be. Oregon State was leader last summer but Oregon is right there too and has made up a lot of ground. I feel very comfortable at both schools and with both coaching staffs. Right now, I have a lot to think about. I would like to decide by the weekend and both schools will coming by for home visits this week. I should be ready to decide following those.”
