Preseason All-SoCon safety AK Burrell is back to anchor Furman’s back end
After a 2024 knee injury wiped out a full season, AK Burrell returned in 2025 as a redshirt junior and immediately re-established himself as a tone-setting safety, earning preseason All-SoCon recognition and logging 10 starts with 58 tackles. He’s valued for his physicality, reliability, and special-teams toughness, with a résumé that also includes SoCon All-Freshman honors in 2023. If your team wants an experienced, versatile defender who already proved he can handle a big workload and bring edge every snap, Burrell is a strong fit.
