Illinois Football: Illini extend offer to 2022 WR Luther Burden

When a team offers a scholarship to a player who just finished up his freshman year in high school, you know that player is going to be pretty talented at the next level. That is the case with Luther Burden.

Burden is a 6-foot, 180-pound wide receiver from Cardinal Ritter College Prep in St. Louis, Missouri. He isn’t rated or ranked by 247Sports yet because he is from the class of 2022. But, this kid is going to be highly rated when the new rankings come out. He already has some serious programs looking at him.
