Burks Jr.’s list has not changed since July, as Ole Miss, LSU, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M round of the Final 5 schools, while the Ole Miss Rebels currently have the edge according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball, yet we saw with David Hicks Jr.’s surprise commitment to the Aggies last week after being a heavy favorite to land with Oklahoma, weird things happen on commitment day, so do not count the maroon and white out by any means.
As a prospect, Marvin Burks Jr. displays eye-popping athleticism in coverage which is aided by his time as a wide receiver. he exhibits a solid combination of speed and strength in his downhill pursuit as a box defender, with great lateral ability and quickness once he sees his target while finishing his tackles at a high rate.
