Arkansas' recruiting momentum continued Monday with the commitment of highly recruited Warren receiver Treylon Burks.
Burks, 6-3, 210 pounds, chose the Hogs over scholarship offers from LSU, Clemson, Auburn, Ole Miss, Michigan, Tennessee, South Florida and others. ESPN rates him a 4-star prospect, No. 12 wide receiver and the No. 88 overall prospect in the nation.
"I picked Arkansas because I grew up here watching the Razorbacks, and I’ve always wanted to play for them, and getting the offer made it a lot better for me," Burks said. "Nothing is like playing for the Natural State."
He’s the sixth commitment for the Hogs in a week, and he joins teammate and defensive tackle Marcus Miller as a future Razorback. He and Miller attended the Wooo Pig Nic on Friday.
Burks recorded 45 receptions for 1,090 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior while rushing for 936 yards. He had 57 catches for 1,354 yards and 17 touchdowns to help the Lumberjacks to the Class 4A state championship as a sophomore.
He's only the second freshman to start for Coach Bo Hembree. Burks, who recorded 41 receptions for 815 yards and 12 touchdowns as a ninth grader, received an offer from Arkansas as a freshman.
According to the various recruiting services, Burks is the seventh 4-star prospect to pledge to the Razorbacks. Linebacker, Zach Zimos, quarterback KJ Jefferson, receiver Shamar Nash and defensive ends Eric Gregory, Zach Williams and Collin Clay are also rated 4-star recruits.
Burks is the third receiver commitment and the sixth offensive pledge. The Hogs now have 15 commitments for the 2019 class.
