Kolbe Burrell brings veteran heft and burst to Northwestern State’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Kolbe Burrell was Northwestern State’s most productive runner, logging 76 carries for 263 yards and a touchdown while adding 12 catches for 45 yards, and he’s listed as a 5-foot-9, 205-pound graduate student back for 2026. His calling card is compact power with enough burst to pop a 48-yard run in 2024 and a 38-yard long in 2025, which makes him more than just a grinder. He looks like a sturdy, experienced fit if a team wants a mature, downhill RB who can handle meaningful touches and contribute as a receiver.
