Ben Burr-Kirven Is The Hero The Huskies Need

Ben Burr-Kirven is having an amazing season for the Huskies. He was recently named to the final watch list for the Bednarik Award, which is given to the best defensive player in the country every season. Is Burr-Kirven the best player on the Washington defense? Probably not, cornerback Byron Murphy was also named to the Bednarik watch list, and Taylor Rapp deserves to be on that list too. But statistically speaking, Burr-Kirven has had the best season for the Huskies and it’s not even close. He’s totaled 74 total tackles, which almost doubles the team’s next leading tackler, Myles Bryant, who has 35.
