Brock Burns has become a force in the trenches for Ozark High School. This senior monster is featured at left tackle on the offensive line and at defensive tackle on the other side of the ball. The productivity on the field is bringing in offers and drawing more recruiting interest.
This 6’4”, 300-pound, beast has tremendous size, strength, and footwork while also possessing a great knowledge of the game. On defense, Burns has 10 tackles and one interception through the first four games.
Along the recruiting trail, the 2022 prospect already has two offers and is also drawing interest from numerous other programs. It will be exciting to watch Brock lead his team through the rest of his final season at Ozark High school.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I caught up with Brock to talk about his senior season and get an update on his recruiting process.
