Cal Poly LB John Burns brings proven playmaking and edge
John Burns projects as a physical, high-motor linebacker who can affect games through effort and versatility, with a background that includes big-play production as a dual-threat athlete in high school and a recruiting profile that listed him at 6-2, 186 pounds with 4.74 speed. [1][5] The appeal is his competitiveness and downhill presence: he looks like a fit for a team that values toughness, range, and special-teams utility, though public sources here do not provide current Cal Poly game stats or injury details to fully gauge his 2026 form.
