Expert Analysis

Jordan Reyes

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Burnstein has been steadily rising the PRZ rankings and D1 recruiting boards since the 2024 season. This update he moved to number 36 overall and is the #6 defensive linemen in the 2026 class. Checks all the boxes as a highly recruitable edge prospect with his plus athleticism and projectable frame at 6’4” 235 lbs. Smooth movement skills with the flexibility and bend to work off the edge and redirect to the ball effectively. He’s quick in the short area chasing with good speed and motor to make plays down the line and from the backside. Multi-dimensional he’s able to contain the edge in the run game and has a good mix of speed and power moves to rush the passer. Seven D1 offers most recently picking up Washington State and expect him to be in the double digits before long.

Burnstein was listed as one of PRZ’s top under the radar prospects last summer but his recruiting has taken off since pulling in six D1 offers. Excellent skillset for a DE prospect that blends his size, length, and athleticism to be a disruptive playmaker working off the edge. 6’4” 235 lbs. he’s got an explosive first step showing good natural bend and initial quickness from the snap to engagement. He plays with a relentless motor and demonstrates excellent hand usage, shedding blocks effectively and maintaining good gap discipline. Against the run, he’s capable of containing the edge with good lateral movement and pursuit speed. He’s able to collapse the pocket as a pass rusher with a good mix of speed and power moves to get to the QB. Expect for more offers to come in as the cycle progresses.

Burnstein is a dominating edge defender at 6’4” 250 lbs. Possesses high level movement skills and speed for a guy his size running a 4.71 laser 40 yard dash. He shows good bend and lateral quickness off the edge to make plays working down the LOS. He’s smart and aware of his assignment, does a good job keeping his shoulders square to the line allowing him to maintain his outside leverage or collapse down as a force player. Quick to recognize run/pass and locate the ball while chasing hard in pursuit. Flashes a good mix of speed and power moves to beat blockers on his way to the ball carrier. Look for him to take big jump in recruiting going into his junior season with his combination of length, athleticism, and speed.
