growing into NCCU’s interior anchor
Shawn Burton enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-3, 270-pound offensive lineman for North Carolina Central, with the Eagles listing him as a junior and wearing No. 66. NCCU and ESPN both show him as an active roster piece, but publicly available stat lines are minimal for an OL, so the real story is profile and progression: he added weight from 245 to 270 pounds and has developed into a sturdier trench piece. If you want a young lineman with frame, room to keep climbing, and developmental upside, Burton is worth a look.
