Darius Burwell brings length, ball skills, and a rising safety profile to South Alabama
In the 2026 cycle, Darius Burwell is listed as a 6-foot-1, 190-pound safety from Mae Jemison High School in Alabama and is committed to South Alabama; ESPN also shows him as a No. 104 safety with a 76 grade, which suggests a solid, under-the-radar pickup rather than a mega-hyped headline recruit. He also has a strong multi-sport background and a black-belt competitive edge, which fits the kind of disciplined, physical defensive back South Alabama can develop.
