THE HURRY-UP: OHIO STATE RECRUITING DENZEL BURKE “HARD“ AT CORNERBACK AS HE INCLUDES BUCKEYES IN TOP FIVE

The Hurry-Up is your nightly dose of updates from the Ohio State football recruiting trail, keeping tabs on the latest from commits and targets from around the country.

BURKE RELEASES TOP FIVE
Ohio State is looking for one final player to round out its 2021 defensive backs haul. That number could be two if it’s the right player, but one more is the no-doubt number we can safely know the Buckeyes are going to bring into the class.

There has been increasing momentum for Burke, a 6-foot, 190-pound junior out of Arizona powerhouse Saguaro High School, to possibly join the class, and Burke recently released a top five list of Colorado, Ohio State, Oregon, USC and Washington.

Back when Eleven Warriors first spoke with Burke in late February, the No. 9-ranked athlete in the nation told us that Ohio State saw him as either a wide receiver or a cornerback. We can wipe out the former as an option. Burke told us on Tuesday night that the Buckeyes are recruiting him as a cornerback, and the communication with the staff has stayed at a consistent level since Jan. 27, when Ryan Day officially offered him.

“Ohio State has been recruiting me hard ever since they offered me, and I have a good relationship with the coaches that are recruiting me such as Coach Coombs and Coach (Corey) Dennis,” Burke told Eleven Warriors.

Burke is absolutely a candidate to become the Buckeyes’ final cornerback commit in the class (or, at least the next cornerback commit in the class), but the catch is he has never visited. Burke says he “won’t be committing until I know I’m ready,” and it’s likely that if he does wind up committing to Ohio State, he will wait until he has visited Columbus in person.

Things change quickly, though, so perhaps we will find ourselves in a situation down the road where the Buckeye coaches move off their stance of needing a visit from Burke – or Davies – in order to accept a commitment.
