Five-star wide receiver Luther Burden names top three schools, commitment date

A week ago, Luther Burden named a top three of Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri. On Friday, he announced his commitment date of Oct. 20.

The class of 2022 is going to be unlike any other recruiting cycle we have seen. COVID-19 restricted most prospects from being able to visit campuses and communicating with coaches in person. A lot of guys are going to make two, possibly three commitments.

One of those is going to be wide receiver Luther Burden. After being an Oklahoma pledge for eight months, the five-star opened up his recruitment in the middle of August.

A week ago, Burden announced a top three of Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri. It’s an all-SEC affair for the No. 6 player in the country.

Burden got to see all three schools during the summer, visiting Tuscaloosa first. However, all were unofficial. He has yet to make any official visits according to 247Sports.

On Friday, the five-star receiver said he will be committing on Wednesday, Oct. 20. East St. Louis High School will be the venue.

The latest crystal ball prediction that came in was for Georgia. Early ones after the Oklahoma decommitment favored Missouri. If Alabama wants to add another stud receiver to the roster, getting him on campus for an official visit may be required.

On the 247Sports composite, Burden is the No. 6 prospect in the country and the top in Missouri. As for the wide receiver position, only Evan Stewart is ranked higher than him.

Four-star WR Jordan Hudson announces top three schools, commitment date

Jordan Hudson cleared up who was remaining in his recruitment. As expected, SMU and Texas were included, but the wildcard is Alabama.

Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma recently lost a commitment from one of the top receivers in the country. Jordan Hudson was loyal to the Sooners’ soil for nearly 11 months before reopening his recruitment.

SMU and Texas quickly emerged as leaders for the four-star wide receiver. Both have gotten visits from Hudson, the Mustangs as an official, the Longhorns unofficially. 247Sports crystal ball predictions have flooded in for the hometown Dallas school as well.

On Saturday, Hudson cleared up who was remaining in his recruitment with a top-three school list. As expected, SMU and Texas were included, but the wildcard is Alabama. Yes, you can stop us if you have heard this one before. Nick Saban is going after the top prospects from the state of Texas.

Hudson simultaneously announced July 4 would be his commitment date.

If Texas is able to pull off the recruiting victory, flipping a prospect from across the Red River would be an incredible achievement. Rarely do recruits flip flop between the rivals. Hudson could be the second one within two cycles.

July 4 has the potential to be a massive day for the Longhorns. Four-star safety Bryce Anderson is possibly announcing his commitment as well. Texas A&M is the key opponent there.

Two wins over your main rivals in the recruiting field would be massive for Steve Sarkisian.

On the 247Sports composite, Hudson is the No. 113 player and No. 12 wide receiver in the country. Within the state of Texas, he cracks the top 25 at No. 23.
