Jager Burton will announce where he will play college football on Sunday night. The list of his potential destinations includes Alabama, Clemson, Oregon, Ohio State, and Kentucky. Burton’s commitment ceremony will take place at the KSBar and Grill. While it’s often been discussed, the significance of keeping the state’s top player at home is vital. Plus, the last two highly-rated offensive tackle prospects that call Lexington home elected to leave the Commonwealth. A three-peat would not be good.
But, Jager Burton is much more than a mere symbol of home-state recruiting competence. This kid can flat out play the game of football.
