Alabama has the top-ranked class in the country. Missouri now has the No. 14-ranked recruiting class in the country.

The five-star wide receiver’s commitment to Missouri is a huge win for Tigers’ head coach Eli Drinkwitz:

Missouri is 3-4 on the season and is 0-3 in SEC play. The Tigers have a long way to go, especially defensively if they want to be a legitimate SEC East contender. Adding Luther Burden certainly helps Missouri’s cause.

Missouri travels to face UGA on Nov. 6.
