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.
