Lamont Burton II brings early upside and downhill linebacker traits to Austin Peay
Burton is a **freshman linebacker** at Austin Peay with a sturdy **6'1", 209-pound** frame and a recruiting profile built on productive high-school play, including **80 tackles and 10 tackles for loss** as a senior at Glenwood. He was an **Alabama Sports Writers Association All-State** pick in both his junior and senior seasons, which points to consistent impact and competitive toughness. Because there are **no college game logs or season stats yet**, his value is more about projection: a physical, multi-sport athlete with size and track-record production who looks like a developmental fit for a defense that wants aggressive, active linebackers.[1][5][12]
