Seems small for LB. He also plays RB, maybe the staff sees him as a safety in college. Ivy league offers, so he's smart, couldn't hurt to have a smart dude on the team. Assuming he doesn't play like a potato that is.
After watching his highlights, what stands out to me is his instincts and effort. Honestly reminds me of the type of guy Stanford would recruit, which is a good thing.
Snippet from San Jose Mercury News :
Burr-Kirven is a force on defense, known for huge hits, quickness and a never-ending motor. Listed at 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, he has been timed at 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash. "That's pretty fast," Lavorato said. That speed coupled with Burr-Kirven's love for contact make his hits hard to miss.
"That's kind of why I play defense," Burr-Kirven said. "I love to go out and hit people. I've always had that, since I first started playing Pop Warner."
Teammate Andrew Segre called Burr-Kirven's hits "amazing," but added, "The biggest thing about him is desire. He wants it more than anyone else on the team. He works really, really hard."
