Did he even start on his HS team? Those stats don’t scream “standout player”.View attachment 19463Mason Blankenship 2023 Running Back

I’d say that most walk ons aren’t stand outs

Guess my comparison is that I had better stats and wasn’t anywhere near a walk-on invite.

I’m assuming you’re a little older. Standards used to be higher as well

37 if that’s old. Surely there are many great athletes that aren’t scholarship material yet could run circles around average dudes.

Burke was really, really bad this year. He was actually the teams leading rusher and second leading receiver with those numbers.
I'm not sure what all that means for him as a prospect but I'll ask someone in the know.

The response I got is that he's a pretty legit kid, just didn't get the opportunities with the new coaching staff. Apparently coach and parents didn't get along and that bled over to the games. He was misused as a RB and wildcat QB. Is likely a WR long term. Had multiple D2 offers.
