Keetan Burcham-Jones '24 Recruiting Profile

First, thank you for your time. My name is Keetan Burcham-Jones, currently a Junior (class of 2024) attending Brownstown Central High School in southern Indiana. Since I was in Kindergarten, I’ve played at least 2 sports (most years 3 sports) – my primary three have been football, basketball and baseball but I also competed in Track/Field last year. 

I’ve started varsity since sophomore year for one of the top small-school football programs in Indiana (my head coach Reed May is #5 winningest coach in Indiana history). I’ve played multiple positions (mostly on the offensive/defensive line) but I believe my ideal position is an Edge Rusher at Defensive End/Outside linebacker.

I accept feedback from coaches as an opportunity to learn. I believe in a positive, encouraging culture on the field, in the weight room, in school and in life – and I try to support my teammates in the same way.

Even though football is my #1, I strive for a well-rounded teenage life. I split time living on a farm with my Mom/Dad and then living with my Dad lifting weights and pursuing fun experiences.   

Most of my attributes, athletic and academic accomplishments are on NCSA profile but the following are a few proud highlights - 

Physical Attributes/Achievements: 

• - Power Club: 1,030 lb club (comprised of 455 squat, 300 bench, 275 clean)
• - Warrior Award winner – top Team Award based on multiple tests (squat, 40, backwards 30, etc.)

 - 1st place Superstar Night (team competition of NFL combine type events)

Athletic Accomplishments:  

• - Mid-Southern All Conference (defensive line)
• - Team Award – Player of Year – Defensive Line/Linebacker (voted by players and coaches)
• - Off-season – Most improved lineman/linebacker, Junior Year

• 
  

Academic Highlights and Community Involvement: 

 - Recent trimester completed with 3.85 GPA. Overall 3.411 weighted GPA in advanced placement courses (English, Math, US History, Sciences)

- Recently earned 97% as team lead on large project for Marketing Fundamentals (creating Sports Team)

- Routinely visit local elementary school spending time with children complete projects as part of the Letterman’s club

• - This year I will be the Big Bad Wolf in our Shrek musical

For college, I want to join and contribute to a championship caliber football program but also attend a world-class university playing the game I love. I have diverse academic interests from the body sciences (like kinesiology) to studying US/World History. I want to continue developing into a great football player, student, son and citizen.

 Thank you

Keetan
