Burford Brings Proven Scoring and Steady Two-Way Production to UTA
Darius Burford is a battle-tested guard who has shown he can score efficiently, create for others, and generate steals, with 1,500+ career points and multiple seasons of double-figure production before arriving at UT Arlington. At UTA, he opened 2024-25 as a dependable rotation piece, while his track record at Illinois State and Elon shows a player who can handle pressure, attack from the perimeter, and contribute beyond the box score. His best fit is a team needing a mature, competitive lead guard who can stabilize offense and bring toughness on both ends.
