Four-star safety Marvin Burks Jr. flips commitment from Ole Miss to Mizzou

Is it really Flipmas already? It feels like it comes sooner every year.

On a day when Mizzou celebrates its official bowl bid, Eli Drinkwitz and his staff have added yet another reason to make merry. In fact, it was Luther Burden who got to do the initial tease.

Shortly after Drinkwitz and Burden teased a flip, Marvin Burks Jr., a four-star safety from Cardinal Ritter who’d initially committed to Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss, announced he’d be staying home after all.

It’s not entirely a surprise. Burks was heavily tabbed to commit to the Tigers back in October before choosing the Rebels.
