Micah Burton is a developmental, scout-team linebacker with upside
In the 2026 season, Micah Burton is a freshman linebacker at Samford, listed at 5-foot-9 and 210 pounds, and he has not yet appeared in game action after redshirting in 2024 and working on the scout team in 2025. His profile screams developmental upside: compact build, local Nashville product, and a young defender still earning his stripes in a physical, assignment-heavy role. If you want immediate impact, he is not there yet; if you want a grinder who could grow into a tough, disruptive special-teams-and-depth piece, he is worth keeping on the radar.
