Blake Burruss brings NFL-sized length and sneaky-upside edge juice to North Texas
In the 2026 season, Blake Burruss profiles as a long, rangy defensive end at 6-7 and 235 pounds who gives North Texas a disruptive frame and developmental upside rather than headline sack totals. His biggest differentiator is size: that length can wreck passing lanes, set a sturdy edge, and make him a matchup problem if his hands and first step keep improving. Available roster data shows he is a redshirt junior, so there’s real experience behind the upside, and his fit makes sense for a team that wants a lean, athletic edge defender with room to grow.
