Darius Burwell Darius Burwell 6'2" | 185 lbs | ATH/DB Mae Jemison | 2026 State AL is a DB we laid eyes on a few weeks back, and man has he impressed us and programs at the next level these last few months.
Burwell is highly instinctual and constantly puts himself near the ball to rack up stops against the run and pass. In coverage, Burwell can lock up WRs and also has the ball skills to track and pick off/break up passes all around the field. Burwell is just as good at defending the run, he’s terrific in pursuit and consistently flies downhill to deliver huge hits to the ball carrier, regardless of where he lined up pre-snap. I think what impressed me most about Burwell was his ability to create turnovers- he came up with a ton of forced fumbles and interceptions last season, consistently finding ways to flip possession and put his offense in great starting field position.
Burwell has had a productive offseason and has made a name for himself in the recruiting world- just this past week South Alabama reached out and sent an offer his way, and with his talent, there’s surely more to come.
Keep an eye on Burwell, he has everything you could need in a safety at the next level and has a huge year ahead.
