Fresh off surpassing 2,000 career rush yards at Lindsey Wilson, Burgess, will look to spark the Keiser offense this weekend. The junior has compiled 170 yards on 26 carries in 2021 but is still in search of his first score of the year. Look for the Seahawks offense to bounce back after the bye week, led by Burgess.
Fraley has been a force defensively for the Seahawks in the early portion of the 2021 season. The sophomore leads Keiser with 22 tackles and three and a half tackles for loss. Fraley and the Seahawks rank fifth in tackles per game in 2021 at 82.0 per game.
