About Burns Updated Jul 26, 2026

Kaleb Burns brings Baylor a long, disruptive linebacker with big-play upside

Burns looks like a high-upside Baylor linebacker prospect with proven backfield production in high school, where he posted 73 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, 6 sacks, 1 interception, and 2 forced fumbles as a junior in 2023. At 6'1" and 223 pounds, he has the frame to play physical football, and his recruiting traction as a coveted 2025 commit suggests programs saw the same thing: burst, violence downhill, and playmaking range. If you want a linebacker who can create negative plays and still fits a modern Big 12 defense, he’s the kind of athlete worth tracking.
