VMI DL Donovan Burnett brings proven pass-rush production and a high-effort edge
Donovan Burnett is a disruptive VMI defensive lineman whose background suggests real upside: he was a varsity starter in high school, reportedly broke Aaron Donald’s school sack records, and was praised for leading his team in sacks even after missing the first three games, while also showing resilience and maturity off the field. He looks like a fit for a program that values motor, toughness, and upward trajectory more than raw hype, with the kind of competitive profile that can translate into impact snaps if he keeps developing.
