IMG Academy’s newest tight end and 2021’s No. 12 tight end Christian Burkhalter was in Columbus for the first day of Ohio State’s two-day fundamentals camp Wednesday, and he ran through a workout with Brian Hartline, Ryan Day and Kevin Wilson alongside three other recruits detailed in Wednesday’s Hurry Up.
Jacksonville No. 11 tight end Nick Elksnis also worked out with Burkhalter, and the two were paired throughout the early-morning drills and mainly worked with Wilson. Both have very similar frames – Burkhalter at 6-foot-5, 215 pounds, and Elksnis at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds – and both worked well in passing drills.
