We’re just 43 days until the return of Penn State football, and today we’ll take a look at defensive end Dayshaun Burnett.

Burnett is a 6-foot-3, 226-pound redshirt freshman that was a four-star member of the 2025 recruiting. Not surprisingly given his light frame — he was listed around 215 pounds as a recruit — Burnett took a redshirt season as he added weight to properly play defensive end in the Big Ten. While that weight gain is still a work in progress — he’s still only listed at 226 pounds on the roster — Burnett doesn’t lack the twitchiness or athleticism needed for defensive end. Let’s see where he’s listed coming out of the spring, because if he can make a 10-pound jump, Burnett could be a sleeper on the edge.

Only 43 more days.
