2023 Safety Marvin Burks Jr. sets commitment date

2023 Safety Marvin Burks Jr. is set to commit on Oct. 21st

On July 12th, 4-Star 2023 Safety prospect Marvin Burks Jr. included Texas A&M in his Final 5 list of schools, and as one of the top players out of Saint Louis, Missouri, Burks Jr. is currently ranked as the 35th Safety in the class, and the 10 ranked player in Missouri according to 247Sports. In the midst of his senior season at Cardinal Ritter College Prep, Burks Jr. has already recorded 17 tackles, 13 solo tackles, and 1 interception on the year, where he has continued to play at both the strong safety position on defense and wide receiver on offense.

Via Twitter on Wednesday, Marvin Burks Jr. announced his commitment which is set for Friday, Oct. 21st, with an official time yet to be announced as of today.

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.

2023 four-star DB Marvin Burks Jr reveals his top schools

Marvin Burks Jr has Texas A&M among his top schools.

The Texas A&M Aggies had quite the 2022 class and they are picking up right where they left off. Head coach Jimbo Fisher recently added Bravion Rodgers and Jayvon Thomas. Both are rated as four-star cornerbacks from the Lone Star State.

That pushed the Aggies into the top 10 of 247Sports team composite rankings. While they did add boundary defenders, Texas A&M is on the radar for a four-star safety from Missouri. Marvin Burks Jr recently revealed his top schools on social media. The Aggies were joined by the Arkansas Razorbacks, Florida Gators, Ole Miss Rebels, and Tennessee Volunteers from the SEC.

Ironically enough, Missouri was projected to land the talented in-state player but they didn’t make the cut. Burks is a two-way player as a wide receiver and safety but is projected to play defense at the next level. Aggies Wire breaks down his recruiting profile.
