Jaden Burrell is a 2029 linebacker and running back from Holt High in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and his freshman season is the reason to pay attention this early. As a **freshman** he recorded **80 tackles, 43 of them solo, 10 tackles for loss, five forced fumbles, two sacks, and two fumble recoveries.** Five forced fumbles from a first-year player is not a statistical accident — that is a player who attacks the ball as a habit, and it is the single most repeatable trait on a defensive profile. ## The frame is already there At 6'1 and 230 pounds with a **6'9 wingspan** and a reported **4.5 forty**, Burrell is carrying a college linebacker's build two full seasons before he graduates. The weight room matches: a 505-pound deadlift, a 450-pound squat, a 305-pound power clean, and a 270-pound bench. A 3.3 GPA keeps the academic side in order. Burrell is a two-star ONE11 prospect today, which reflects how early he is rather than what the tape shows. Alabama linebackers who produce like this as freshmen get found — the profile is on record so it happens sooner.
