Defensively, Burke combines outstanding speed, fluid footwork and physicality to eliminate top receiving threats while remaining active in run support. His versatility and playmaking ability make him one of the state's most complete defensive backs and Wyoming is adding an impact athlete capable of contributing in multiple phases of the game throughout his collegiate career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2160368"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a59351e58bb6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Norwood has taken advantage of the offseason by attending camps and continuing to develop his skill set, putting himself in position for a strong senior campaign.

He will be a prospect looking to impact the game on both sides of the ball giving him added value if the production comes with it. With the increase in time this season, he could place him firmly on the radar of Division I programs looking for athletic, versatile linemen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1625154"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a59351e58c06"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Air Force commit Johnston is a high motor safety who consistently finds himself around the football. His speed allows him to match up with talented receivers, while his instincts and anticipation help him create turnover opportunities. Johnston does an excellent job reading offensive concepts, keeping plays in front of him and reacting quickly to the ball once it leaves the quarterback's hand. His disciplined approach and dependable tackling make him a complete defensive back who rarely finds himself out of position.
