Ready to reload after an impressive 2023 run into the FCS Playoffs, UAlbany Football announced Wisconsin transfer Myles Burkett as the starting quarterback for the Great Danes season opener against Long Island University.

Burkett was the Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Wisconsin, then signed with the Big Ten's Wisconsin Badgers in 2022. He reportedly handled most first-team duties in the spring while UAlbany's primary reserve quarterback in 2023, Trey Lindsey, was sidelined due to injury.

Burkett's first test leading the Great Danes will be at home against the LIU Sharks on Saturday, August 31st at 7:00 PM ET at Bob Ford Field. Fans can watch the action from UAlbany and all the CAA Football teams this season on FloFootball.
