Burbrink Nominated For 2013 Burlsworth Trophy
November 12, 2013 | Football
The Burlsworth Trophy is given to the most outstanding collegiate football player who began his career as a walk-on. A walk-on is defined as a player who began his first season of participation with a Division I (FBS) football program without financial aid of any kind from his university's athletic department.
Burbrink, who has started at the slot receiver position during the past two seasons, has stood out for the Falcons in 2013. In the first game of the season, Burbrink returned a punt 67 yards for his first career touchdown. He is second on the team with 24 catches for 357 yards and a touchdown. Burbrink's first career receiving touchdown came in week two, when quarterback Matt Johnson found him deep for a 92-yard score to break open the contest against Kent State.
"The 2013 class of Burlsworth Trophy nominees are an outstanding group of young men," said Marty Burlsworth, CEO and founder of the Burlsworth Foundation and brother of Brandon. "They represent their schools well and embody everything that the Burlsworth Trophy stands for: hard word, dedication and a commitment to excellence."
