Davis Burns Brings Versatile Safety Depth and Special-Teams Value to Northern Arizona
Burns is a transfer safety whose value shows up in the details: he logged action in all 12 games on special teams for UTEP in 2022 and earned C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll recognition in 2021, then handled a healthy 2024 season at Northern Arizona with 10 tackles (6 solo) over 12 games. His appeal is reliability, toughness, and roster flexibility more than splash plays, which makes him a useful fit for a team needing disciplined depth in the back end and dependable special-teams work.
