Latest NFL draft projections for Memphis football OT Travis Burke

A few months ago, it looked like Memphis football's chances of having an NFL draft pick in 2026 were slim.

But offensive tackle Travis Burke has been among the biggest risers on draft boards over the past few months. Burke, who suffered a leg injury and missed Memphis' last two games, enters the draft with the potential to go on April 24 in the second or third round.

The 6-foot-9, 325-pound Burke has cracked the top-100 in some breakdowns of the top draft prospects. He started 11 games for Memphis at right tackle in 2025 after transferring from FIU and Gardner-Webb before that. Burke performed well at the NFL combine and drew plenty of attention at Memphis' pro day in March.

Memphis doesn't have any other players who are expected to be picked, although the draft is always unpredictable and that doesn't necessarily mean they won't have their names called. A handful of players will likely sign undrafted free agent deals.

Here's a roundup of where he's projected to go in the latest NFL mock drafts. The NFL draft starts on April 23 with the first round, then continues with the second and third rounds on April 24 and the rounds 4-7 on April 25.
