Title:
Director of Player Personnel

Aaron Burks served two seasons on the Texas Tech football staff as the Director of Player Personnel from 2019-20.

Burks returned to his native Lone Star State prior to the 2019 season to manage the outbound marketing aspects of Tech’s recruiting operation, while also implementing strategy for summer recruiting camps and social media communications to prospective student-athletes. He also assisted with all official and unofficial visits to campus.

Burks, a native of Grand Prairie, Texas, arrived in Lubbock after spending the previous three seasons as the On-Campus Ambassador for the Washington football program. The Huskies secured three-consecutive top-25 recruiting classes during his tenure, which was highlighted by a No. 15 overall ranking from Rivals for the 2018 class and a No. 16 ranking for 2019.

Burks joined the Washington staff shortly after ending his playing career at Boise State. He was a regular at wide receiver throughout his career for the Broncos as he appeared in 47 games from 2010-13, totaling 47 receptions for 743 yards and four touchdowns.

Burks signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent shortly after his playing career ended in 2014. He earned his bachelor’s degree in communications from Boise State in 2013.

Burks and his wife, Abby, welcomed a newborn son, Asher, in December 2019.
