Huskers add walk-on commit from Super State DL, LSE standout Maddox Burton | Recruiting



Maddox Burton is going to be a Husker. 

The Lincoln Southeast defensive lineman will walk-on with the Nebraska football team, he announced Friday night. 

The 6-foot-5, 290-pounder had a strong senior season and was named a first-team Super-State honoree by the Journal Star as a result. 

Burton was also named first-team all-city for the second time in his career. He finished the season with 47 tackles and a fumble recovery and went out with a bang, collecting a season-high nine tackles against Elkhorn South in LSE’s final game of the season. 

NU’s newest walk-on also has a unique connection to one of the Huskers’ veteran defensive lineman. Early in the Knights’ season, before it was clear whether Nebraska would play at all this fall, Burton was coached by sophomore NU defensive lineman Casey Rogers, who went on to have a nice fall for the Huskers. 

Rogers congratulated Maddox on his commitment via Twitter, saying “Proud of you my man!” 

Burton is the third player to join the Huskers’ walk-on class since the early National Signing Day when NU added 12 to the program formally. He is also the third Knight to join the 2021 walk-on class, joining defensive back Derek Branch and athlete Taveon Thompson.
