physical, inside-out forward with a proven SHSU history
Marcus Burwell is a 6-5 forward whose most notable Sam Houston impact came in the 2014-15 era, when he appeared in the Bearkats’ rotation and showed the kind of glue-guy profile coaches love: size, toughness, and the ability to rebound and finish around the rim. Publicly available records are sparse on a current 2026 college role, so the safest read is that his value is tied to effort, versatility, and positional flexibility rather than headline-grabbing scoring. If a team wants a hard-nosed forward who can battle physically and fit a system without needing touches, that’s the appeal.
