| One of the top defensive linemen Western Pennsylvania in the last 10 years. Pinkston is quick off the ball, he is aggressive yet disciplined, he does not over pursue or penetrate too deep into the backfield. He’s fast enough to rush the QB, yet strong enough to be an outstanding run-stopper. |
| Biography: |
| Final SR Season stats: Had 79 tackles, two sacks and five fumble recoveries.
Pinkston was named to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Fab 22" team. He also earned first team Class AAAA Associated Press All-State and All-WPIAL. Pinkston was selected to the Pennsylvania Big 33 team.
Final JR (5-5) stats: 100 tackles and seven sacks, three fumbles caused and one blocked extra point; 40+ pancake blocks; Bench: 250x8/Squat: 325x6
Pinkston reports a 2.5 GPA/June 5th first-time SAT
Pinkston: "I'm great at pass rushing and getting to the ball quickly. I want to work harder at offensive line, where I play right tackle as well, because we're really going to need it this season.
"I play both ways and I'm not being recruited as an offensive lineman."
