The 2023 linebacker from Texas was told by his high school coach that Ohio State linebackers coach Al Washington had extended him a scholarship offer.
“It felt good, it was a spark of excitement knowing that another good program made an offer,” Burrell told Eleven Warriors of receiving the offer.
He believes he has been on Ohio State’s radar “for a while,” but he had just started hearing from Washington about a week or two before the offer was extended.
“He said he liked my frame and how big I am,” Burrell said.
