Scouting Report: Strengths
- Offers some versatility, rushing from a two-and three-point stance with the playing speed to stand up in space. Flashes strength as a bull rusher and his energy doesn't plateau.
- Athletic for his size, with light feet and smooth movement skills. Possesses a !oose body to redirect momentum, bend and play with leverage.
- Has the long arms and hand strength to win at the point consistently; strong throughout the upper body and has good agility for his size.
- Good not great quickness and change of direction agility. Chases, using a long spin move to clear blocks. Low, strong off the line.
- Burch has the long arms and heavy hands to ward off blockers and the core strength and flexibility to slip blocks and counter.
- Burch can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, Burch also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Burch lacks elite traits in the pass rush and will need to develop a counter move.
- While Burch has violent hands, he uses them too inconsistently. Burch tends to let blockers get into his chest, and he’ll waste time hand fighting due to a limited array of pass rush moves.
- Stands up well against the run but is very pursuit-conscious and will take unneeded wide angles.
