The Ohio State Buckeyes began 2024 on an undefeated streak, and they can thank Denzel Burke for his contributions for that mark. He pulled in his second interception of the season in the blowout win on the road against Michigan State.

The 6-foot-1' senior from Phoenix, Arizona, is physical player who can cover just about any wide receiver. Last year for the Buckeyes, Burke forced a fumble and logged an interception, too.

He is as tall as Charvarius Ward but taller than Deommodore Lenoir, and Burke would fit nicely into the defensive scheme of coordinator Nick Sorenson.

Burke is definitely worth the look at by San Francisco come April in next year's draft.
