SMU Graduate DT Blake Burris: A 308-Lb. Special-Teams Anchor with Resilience and ACC Grit

Blake Burris, a 6-5, 308-lb. graduate defensive tackle for the SMU Mustangs, is a high-intensity special-teams stalwart who appeared in all 13 games in 2025 after playing 12 in 2024 [5][6]. His differentiator is resilience: limited to just three games in 2023 at Texas Tech due to injury, he returned as a fifth-year senior and now a graduate student to contribute consistently in SMU’s ACC environment [4][5]. While not a stat-leading sack producer, Burris brings physicality, reliability, and a ‘right here’ mentality praised by followers [7]. He’s an ideal fit for teams needing a tough, experienced interior presence who elevates practice intensity and special-teams performance without the injury risk of his sophomore year.
