Brandon Burlsworth served as a tremendous
inspiration during his Arkansas career.
Bullsworth went from a walk on at Arkansas to
being one of the most celebrated football
players in Razorbacks history. The offensive
lineman was not only an All-American, but he
also became the first Arkansas football player to
earn a masters degree before his last football
game.. Burlsworth was drafted by the
Indianapolis Colts in the 3rd round of the 1999
NFL Draft, but never had a chance to play for the
franchise. Burlsworth was killed in an auto
accident less than two weeks later. Not only is
Burlsworth's No. 77 Razorbacks football jersey
retired, but his locker remains intact in the
Razorbacks locker room.
