Marshall DL with Explosive Edge Rush and Proven Sack Production
Sam Burton, a 6-1, 220-pound Marshall Thundering Herd defensive lineman from Boca Raton, FL, erupted with 4 sacks and 4.5 TFLs in his redshirt sophomore 2021 season across 12 games, including a standout 8-yard sack on Georgia Southern's QB; he followed with 35 tackles in 2022 amid a rotating D-line. His differentiator is elite edge explosion and speed off the corner, ideal for hybrid 3-4 schemes—perfect fit for teams needing disruptive, undersized pass-rushers with high-motor intensity and no notable injury flags.
