River Burton River Burton River Burton 5'8" | 150 lbs | LB Sylvan Hills | 2030 State AR is a linebacker prospect worth monitoring. Burton plays with a high motor, chasing down ball carriers from sideline to sideline and becoming physical at the POA. His work ethic is evident, making an impact throughout the field.

River Burton River Burton River Burton 5'8" | 150 lbs | LB Sylvan Hills | 2030 State AR is going to open up some eyes this fall. He will likely be one of the top linebackers in the first release. Burton plays with a high motor, chasing down ball carriers from sideline to sideline and becoming physical at the point of attack. He’s a true run stuffer. Keep an eye on him.

River Burton River Burton River Burton 5'8" | 150 lbs | LB Sylvan Hills | 2030 State AR is a prospect to watch throughout his high school career. Burton will chase down ball carriers from sideline to sideline and become physical at the point of attack. I expect him to take that next leap in the fall.
