DeOndrae Burns brings ball-hawking upside to Lawrence Tech’s secondary
In the 2026 season, Lawrence Tech defensive back DeOndrae Burns has already shown active involvement in the rotation, including 6 tackles through the Blue Devils’ first two games, and his 2025 all-star-game interception hints at real playmaking instincts when the ball is in the air.[3][4] At 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds, he has the length and frame coaches like on the back end, and the early stat line suggests a DB who can compete around the football rather than just survive in coverage.[2][3] If your team wants a young secondary piece with upside, urgency, and turnover flashes, Burns is worth a hard look.[2][4]
