disruptive edge presence with proven sack production
Burnett is a high-motor defensive lineman/edge defender whose best selling point is disruption: in the 2025 season at Tulsa, he logged 28 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and a pass breakup, earning second-team All-AAC honors. He also showed durability by playing in all 12 games despite a prior significant leg injury that slowed earlier seasons. The fit is clear for a team needing an experienced, pressure-creating front-seven piece who can win with burst, effort, and backfield production rather than just raw size.
