BURTON TALKS SPRING OFFICIAL VISITS AND DECISION TIMELINE
Upon the release of the roster, one name that jumped off the page was the 2020 four-star offensive guard, Jager Burton, a top Ohio State target.
While he was unable to participate in the camp after tweaking his ankle playing basketball on Friday evening, Burton still made the trip to support his teammates and we were able to catch up with him.
"I am about to start my officials soon, as soon as I can. I am going to Ohio State, Clemson, Alabama, Oregon, and Kentucky." Burton told
Eleven Warriors. "Around August is when I hope to make a decision. My birthday is August 24th and I am hoping to be done around then."
With Burton taking all his visit this coming spring, his recruitment seems about to take off, and it looks like the Buckeyes are in a solid spot.
"Coach Day, Coach Barnes, and Coach Stud text me like every day," Burton said. "I get on the phone with about once every two weeks if they aren’t busy. I love Coach Stud he puts so many offensive linemen in the NFL and he plays the best five which I love because I can snap it, I can play guard or tackle."
Burton went on to mention his close relationship with a few current Ohio State commits including four-star offensive tackle Ben Christman and five-star defensive end Jack Sawyer. They all plan to make the trip to Columbus for Ohio State's spring game which will likely be Burton's official visit.
As things stand right now it feels as though Ohio State and Kentucky have separated themselves from the rest of the pack because of his relationships with the coaches and their proximity to Burton's hometown. There are still about six months before Burton makes his final decision but so long as the Buckeyes keep of their pursuit they look to be in a great position to land the talented four-star offensive guard.
