Take a look at a freshman linebacker from Detroit.
Name: Tim Walton
Position: Linebacker
Year: Freshman
Height: 6’2″
Weight: 224 lbs.
Hometown: Detroit, Mich.
Highschool: Cass Technical
2015 Stats: As a senior, he led the team in tackles with 121 and also grabbed two interceptions.
2016 Projections: As an incoming freshman, he’s not listed on the Syracuse Orange’s post spring depth chart. He played inside linebacker in high school, so assuming he’s at the same position, he’ll be behind junior Zaire Franklin, redshirt freshman Troy Henderson, and sophomore Kyle Kleinberg.
How’d He Get Here?: Walton originally committed to Illinois but flipped to Syracuse about a week before signing day. D-line Coach Vinson Reynolds and Walton have a strong relationship that played a big part in bringing him to Syracuse.
What’d Recruiting Sites Say?: 3 stars across the board (Scout, Rivals, 247, and ESPN).

Money Quote: Here’s a quote about Walton’s work ethic in high school from MLive.com:
When Tim Walton first transferred from Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice to Detroit Cass Tech, he asked Tom Wilcher for a pair of keys to the weight room.
“I’ll lock up for you when I’m done,” Walton confidently told his new football coach. “I’ll be the last to leave.”
