Now, at last, we begin.

This is annoying and all, but it's the only reason I registered here and I really have to know. It also says I can't post a new thread till I have at least 20 Posts and I don't have the slightest clue about Vols football.

I just want to know if Kevin Burnett played strong side or weakside linebacker in college as his primary position.

Since no one has answered you, I think strong side. But others would know better than I would.
 
From '05

Burnett came to Tennessee as a free safety, but was moved to linebacker midway through his true freshman season in 2000. He started two games in 2001 and was set to become the Vols' fulltime starting "weakside" linebacker in 2002 before tearing his ACL, which required reconstructive knee surgery and cost him the entire 2002 season and 2003 spring practice. As a junior in 2003, Burnett started all 13 games and finished with 77.5 total tackles, 7.5 TFL and 1.5 sacks. Burnett made a wise decision to return for his senior season in 2004 because it gave him time to fully recover and regain his speed and explosiveness. He finished 2004 with 120 tackles, six TFL, one sack and one INT. Burnett is a terrific athlete with good size and even better speed. He is excellent in coverage, has very good range in run support,
