In a matter of one play and just a few seconds, DeAndra Burns demonstrated why he's earned his three-star rating.

Burns wasn't even supposed to get the kickoff in a Sept. 23 game against Benton, but as soon as the El Dorado wideout caught the ball at his own 5-yard line, he burned the Panthers, using his combination of speed and vision to go 95 yards for the score.

"He's such a big-time playmaker," El Dorado Coach Steven Jones said that night. "He can change the game."

Arkansas State, en route to a third straight losing season, has Burns' commitment, and under Coach Butch Jones, the Red Wolves are looking anywhere to find more talent -- including internationally.
