OL Spencer Burford, UTSA, San Antonio Wagner
2022 NFL Draft Pick: Round 4 (134) San Francisco 49ers
As a prep: Burford was UTSA’s first-ever four-star signee. He was a first-team all-district selection as a senior, posting 88 knockdowns and 28 pancake blocks in 2017. Burford was also a first-team all-district selection as a junior.
As a collegiate: Burford was an instant starter for the Roadrunners. He started in 10 games as a true freshman. He started 11 times as a sophomore in 2019, 10 starts as a junior in 2020, and 12 times as a senior in 2021. Burford was a first-team All-Conference USA selection as a senior. He earned an invite to the Senior Bowl and participated at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine.
As a pro? Burford was a versatile player for the Roadrunners. He started his college career at guard and eventually moved out to left tackle. He registered a start at four of the five offensive line positions during his four-year career at UTSA. Right tackle feels like the first position he’ll get a crack at during his pro career. Left guard is another possibility.
