Burke was really, really bad this year. He was actually the teams leading rusher and second leading receiver with those numbers.Did he even start on his HS team? Those stats don’t scream “standout player”.
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.Burke was really, really bad this year.

I'm not sure what all that means for him as a prospect but I'll ask someone in the know.
