It's no secret that the Longhorns have one of the top defenses in all of college football right now, and Senior EDGE Ethan Burke has continued to be a big reason as to why in 2025.
He's been able to effectively man that strongside defensive end spot opposite Colin Simmons, being a force to be reckoned with against both the run and pass. Despite being "only" 260 pounds, he's been able to hold the edge and anchor down when facing bigger offensive linemen on a consistent basis against multiple offensive schemes.
Burke can really pop pulling guards in the power game and can sit and redirect blockers against zone.
