Steady Kansas safety with proven production and veteran savvy
In the 2024 season, O.J. Burroughs gave Kansas a dependable last line of defense, starting all 12 games and posting a career-high 64 tackles plus 4.0 tackles for loss, with an interception and six passes defended. He fits the mold of a high-safety stabilizer: rangy, experienced, and steady rather than flashy, with enough toughness to trigger against the run and enough awareness to make plays in coverage. Kansas sources described him as an overlooked but reliable contributor who anchored the secondary, and his departure left a real experience gap.
