The decision of Linkon Cure, a top-ranked tight end from Goodland High School in Kansas, is highly anticipated. Cure, who is ranked as the No. 26 overall prospect in the Class of 2025 and the No. 2 tight end, will announce his college decision on July 1 during the 247Sports Football Recruiting Show at 5 p.m. ET. According to recent predictions by 247Sports Crystal Ball, Kansas State is considered the favorite for Cure, with all five of their predictions in his favor.
Cure’s impressive athleticism has been demonstrated in multiple sports at Goodland High School. He has won two Kansas 3A championships in track and field, with a standout performance in the 300-meter hurdles and qualifying for various state events. In basketball, he averaged an impressive 11.2 points per game as a junior and helped lead his team to a state title game appearance.
In football, Cure was named a Kansas All-State selection after an outstanding junior season with impressive statistics including 42 catches for 946 yards and 14 touchdowns. His route-running ability, separation off the snap, success in contested catches, after-the-catch ability and potential to improve his blocking skills make him a highly sought after recruit.
According to Greg Biggins from 247Sports, Cure’s standout athleticism combined with his elite route running ability make him one of the most exciting prospects for college football programs looking to add talent to their rosters.
Regardless of where he chooses to go, Linkon Cure is projected to have an immediate impact as a freshman on any team he joins in the next year’s NCAA football season.
