Burrows proves he's the best against the best
Just a few miles south of The Ohio State campus, the Buckeyes were well represented at the Nike Camp by several commitments who performed well, one of whom was no doubt Trotwood (Ohio) defensive back Cameron Burrows. As one of several top 100 players at the event, there was a bit of a target on his back but the four-star was excited about showing what he could do against other top players.
"I really wanted to prove that I was a lock down cornerback," Burrows said. "I also wanted to prove I'm not overrated and get that spot to 'The Opening' and Gridiron Kings.
"I'm very excited about the invites."
The 40th ranked player in the country by MaxPreps, Burrows was able to team up with fellow Buckeye commit Jayme Thompson in the secondary during pass skeleton and drills. The pair both had on Ohio State gear and enjoyed showing off what they'll be doing once they arrive on campus and finally don the scarlet and grey.
"It's real fun to say we're going to go at it for the next four years, all day, everyday," he said. "It was cool to have Jayme at safety and me at corner. Every time we went nickel we had Ross in there a little bit and we picked on him a little bit."
Because Burrows is one of the top players in the state of Ohio, he's pretty connected on the recruiting scene and is hoping to add a few members to the current class of 2013 at OSU by doing some recruiting.
"I'm recruiting a couple of wide receivers to go against now," said the ever competitive Burrows. "Robert Foster, Laquon Treadwell, James Quick."
"We think we can win Big Ten championships. We're trying to go for a national championship too. The intensity and competition the staff brings in makes you want to work for that. They make you want to compete against each other. It's a big change from last year and this year. I like competition and I want to be part of it."
Burrows also said he had a great time at the Buckeyes' spring game and thinks the program could get a few more commitments in the next few months.
