Nick Burden Nick Burden 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB Dutchtown | 2026 State GA is a prototype corner prospect who has seen his offer list grow exponentially this last contact period. Official weight has been reported anywhere between 165 and 185, but has room to pack on more weight to his long dimensions regardless. Burden is a big, physical corner prospect with striking potential. He flies to the football like a missile and will lay some blows on ball carriers once momentum gets going. He does a good job settling down and widening his tackle radius to lower his margin of error. He is more of a strider, but he has clean footwork and shifts downhill from his back pedal efficiently. His long strides enable him to gallop to the football. He tracks the ball well through the air and uses his length to make catches challenging at the catch point. Burden plays with a physical edge, gallops around the field, and still has his best ball ahead of him.

A metro-Atlanta defensive back with natural cover skills and outstanding instincts in coverage, Burden is a big-play machine who was able to lock down receivers and deliver a physical hit on the ball-carrier. A versatile defensive back with a promising 6-foot-1 175-pound frame, Burden was a football magnet this past season and did a great job of making his way to the ball. The playmaking Dutchtown defender made 36 tackles, two INTs and one pass deflection. He’s ranked as the No. 20 DB in the state and is seeing his recruitment pick up some this month.
