Arizona football recruiting: Breaking down 3-star defensive end commit Jake Burton

Rich Rodriguez has officially addressed the need for size on the defensive line

Another pleasant surprise for the Arizona Wildcats defensive front came this week, with the commitment of 3-star defensive end Jake Burton. The 3-star end hails from Granite Hills (El Cajon, CA) and checks in at 6-6 260lbs. He is currently ranked No. 42 among all defensive ends and No. 85 among all targets in California.

It was down to Arizona, UCLA and Vanderbilt for Burton's services. I felt that Vanderbilt came in too late for Burton and UCLA could have definitely drowned him out talent-wise going forward, making Arizona a great fit both on the field and on the depth chart.
