Kevin Burkett is Elon’s tone-setting, NFL-caliber pass protector
In the 2024 season, Kevin Burkett anchored Elon’s offensive line, earned first-team All-CAA honors, and was graded by Pro Football Focus as the top pass-protecting offensive lineman in FCS football. He also started 44 of 45 career games and led with the kind of durability, versatility, and calm edge coaches love in an OL room. Add in his 2025 CAA Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, and you get a rare blend of brains, grit, and plug-and-play reliability—an excellent fit for teams needing a steady, high-floor interior/edge protector.
