Will Burns brings early-career interior-line toughness to Kent State
Will Burns is a **defensive lineman** for Kent State whose profile is built more on disruptive flashes than box-score volume: in the 2018 season, he appeared in 8 games and finished with 7 tackles, including a 3-tackle showing with 1 tackle for loss against Auburn[1]. That kind of evidence points to a player who can compete against higher-level opponents and make himself noticeable in specific run-defense moments. For a team looking for a **blue-collar DL** with game experience and some passable early production, Burns fits as a depth-and-development prospect rather than a proven headline maker[1].
