Career highlights and awards

Aubrey Burks (born March 22, 2002)[1] is an American football safety for the West Virginia Mountaineers.

High school career

Burks attended Auburndale High School in Auburndale, Florida.[3] As a junior, he recorded 63 tackles, six sacks, three forced fumbles, and two interceptions before committing to Indiana.[4] However, as a senior, Burks decommitted and instead chose to play college football at West Virginia University over offers from Georgia Tech, Louisville, and Mississippi State.[5]

College career

After just recording two tackles as a freshman, Burks became a starter as a sophomore, finishing the season with 66 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble, and a sack.[6][7] Against TCU the following season, a collision left Burks motionless on the field for around eight minutes before he was stabilized and carted off the field.[8] After being hospitalized and flown home[9], Burks was able to return to action after missing a few weeks.[10][11][12] He ended his junior season with 48 tackles, two interceptions, and two pass deflections.[13] Entering the 2024 season, Burks is considered one of the top returning safeties in college football.[14]
