Scout report
K. Burks is a 26-year-old central defender at Lexington, rated 28.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 75th of 272 on scout potential in the USL Championship. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (54.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.83 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Burks.
Judged on this season alone, Burks graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 59 of the 59 centre-backs in the USL Championship, on 4 clean sheets and 1.834 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 14). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, top 24% of the 59 centre-backs in the USL Championship. At 26 Burks is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Burks is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Lexington finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.83 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.3, Burks carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the USL Championship (top 24%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Lexington finished 9th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
