For those of you out there that may not know, the Burlsworth Trophy is awarded to the top walk-on players in college football. The Trophy was first awarded in 2010 and the winner was Georgia Tech Center Sean Bedford.
Mock Draft HQ congratulates all of this years nominees and wishes them all luck in the future whether that includes playing in the NFL or a career in another area.
The Trophy is named in honor of Brandon Burlsworth. Without any Division 1 scholarship offer, Brandon walked on to the Razorbacks team in 1994, worked his way to being a three-year starter, and was eventually named an All-American in 1998. Burlsworth was selected as the 63rd overall pick by the Indianapolis Colts in the 1999 NFL draft, but was tragically killed in a car accident 11 days later. The Burlsworth Foundation was created in his memory and supports the physical and spiritual needs of children, in particular those children that have limited opportunities.
