A veteran Tennessee State anchor with proven line leadership
Thomas Burton is a longtime Tennessee State offensive lineman who brings experience, durability, and interior versatility to the Tigers. In the 2019 season, he started 12 games and split time at center and left guard, and earlier Tennessee State media notes credited him with anchoring an offense that averaged 400.1 yards per game and allowed the fewest sacks in the OVC in 2016. He looks like a fit for teams that value steady, assignment-sound protection, leadership, and a blue-collar tone up front rather than flashy highlights.
