Big-bodied interior DL with early-game experience for Kent State
Burgess is a **6-0, 305-pound** redshirt sophomore defensive lineman who already saw the field in **10 games in 2025** after four appearances as a freshman, so he brings real game reps rather than pure projection. His profile suggests a compact interior defender with enough bulk to hold his ground and enough durability to stay available, and his biggest differentiator is dependable depth value: he logged **10 tackles in 2025** and has steadily expanded his role. For a team seeking a physical, developmental interior piece, he looks like a practical fit rather than a flashy stat-stuffer.[1][4]
