#TheNetwork Files: An Ole Miss LB commit is transferring to IMG Academy

Last week, three-star outside linebacker commit Jaqwondis Burns was informed by the DEC that he and a few more of his teammates would not be eligible to compete in football games this year for Dallas Skyline High School due to transferring for sports only.

Three-star linebacker Jaqwondis Burns and Class of 2022 defensive lineman Keithian “Bear” Alexander — who both transferred to Skyline from Terrell — were ruled ineligible for one year of varsity competition by the District 8-6A executive committee and were ruled to have transferred for athletic purposes. Burns, committed to Ole Miss, is rated the 39th-best outside linebacker in the nation in the Class of 2020 and is No.
