On3 DB / Joshua Burnham

As a College Recruit

Mutli-positional jumbo athlete with functional athleticism and versatile playmaking ability. Has a big frame, at a listed 6-foot-4, 225 pounds. Lines up at quarterback and linebacker for his high school. Primarily used as a rushing, quarterback running off of power concepts. A prolific rusher at the high school level, running for over 1,500 yards and 29 touchdowns as a senior. Moves well for his size with good, not great top end speed. Also shows some versatility at linebacker, with the ability to stack and shed as a run defender, blitz off the edge and drop into space. Does not play overly strong competition.

Joshua Burnham evaluation at All-American Bowl

Charles Power

Notre Dame signee Joshua Burnham had some nice moments at the All-American Bowl. Burnham is not as developed as a linebacker as some others, which makes sense given he’s been a two-way player at the high school level. Still, we liked his combination of size and movement skills.
