Arkansas receiver Treylon Burks catches a touchdown pass during a game against UAPB on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021, in Little Rock.
FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas receiver Treylon Burks announced Wednesday he has elected to forego his senior season to declare for the NFL Draft and will not play in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1.
Burks’ decision came on the day he was selected by a media panel as a first-team All-SEC choice, backing up the same position he held in voting by SEC coaches released Tuesday.
Burks, projected as a first-round NFL Draft pick by many analysts, just completed one of the most productive seasons for an Arkansas receiver with 66 catches for 1,104 yards and 11 touchdowns, plus another 112 rushing yards and a touchdown.
