Carsen Burckhardt brings captain-level toughness and explosive testing to Valpo’s linebacker room
Carsen Burckhardt stands out as a high-motor linebacker with clear leadership credentials: Valparaiso lists him as a team captain and four-year varsity letter winner, while his Hudl measurables show notable burst and power for the position, including a 4.75 40, 4.4 shuttle, 38-inch vertical, and 335-pound bench. He’s the kind of player who adds edge, physicality, and reliability rather than flash, which makes him a strong fit for teams valuing discipline, effort, and special-teams/inside-run value. His background suggests a grinder with enough athletic tools to keep developing.
