Thrasher Burns Thrasher Burns 6'1" | 170 lbs | LB Mater Academy East Las Vegas | 2029 State NV has quickly emerged as one of Nevada’s most intriguing young linebackers, showing advanced playmaking ability even as a freshman on varsity. At 6′1″ and 170 pounds, Burns possesses a long, explosive frame that jumps off the tape — his burst at the snap and ability to penetrate through traffic create consistent disruption in the backfield. What sets him apart is his combination of speed and instincts; he reads keys quickly, flows downhill aggressively, and isn’t afraid to mix it up in tight spaces despite his underclassman status. Burns also flashes impressive coverage ability for his age, smoothly matching up with backs out of the backfield and dropping into zones with confidence. With room to add strength and a high ceiling athletically, Burns is a freshman to watch as he develops into a standout linebacker in Nevada’s 2029 cycle.

Burns picked up his first set of offers from Colorado St., Weber St., and Portland St. this month. The 6’1″/170 linebacker broke out as a defensive playmaker for Mater East last season with 24 total tackles and 2 INTs. He’s an athletic defender that can make plays around the LOS with his ability to attack downhill and close space quickly. Burns is a LB on the rise early into the offseason cycle.
