Burton is a defensive back prospect who has shown flashes of playmaking ability despite limited opportunities on Friday nights. Even in a smaller role last season, Burton found ways to impact the game, finishing with 9 total tackles, 1 tackle for loss and 2 interceptions. His ability to create turnovers highlights instincts and awareness that translate well to the secondary. Burton has the athletic tools to develop into a more complete defensive back, and increased reps will be important for his overall growth. Competing on the 7v7 circuit this offseason could provide valuable experience in coverage situations while also helping him gain more exposure against quality competition. As he continues to develop physically and technically, Burton has the potential to emerge as a rising defensive prospect in the 2028 classes.
