The Burlsworth Trophy is awarded to the best walk-on or player who started his career as a walk-on each season. Brandon Burlsworth was an all-American offensive lineman at the University of Arkansas who started his Razorback career as a walk-on out of Harrison, (Ark.).
Former all-American and current Razorback linebacker, Grant Morgan, won the Burlsworth Trophy this season after another phenomenal regular season campaign. Morgan recorded 96 tackles, 7 tackles for a loss and a half sack.
Morgan has built a legacy in Fayetteville. He always worked harder than everyone else. He eventually won his whole team over as he was named a team captain as a senior and again as a “super senior” in 2021.
