Burrell Brings Big-Body Upside and Bounce-Back Potential at Tight End
In the 2025 season, Joshua Burrell emerged as Furman’s top tight end threat, finishing with 36 catches for 290 yards and 2 touchdowns after returning healthy from an early injury interruption in 2024. His best differentiators are size, versatility, and receiver-like fluidity: Furman’s staff has described him as someone who can line up attached to the formation or split out wide, and they’ve praised the receiving ability he flashed in preseason and in the opener. He also arrives with strong pedigree, including being a former state No. 4 prospect and an academic standout. A smart fit if you want a tight end who can create matchup problems, not just block in a phone booth.
