Evaluation: Burks may not be one of the highest-rated recruits in West Virginia's 2021 class but I do believe he has a ton of upside. There's a lot to like about his game. He excels in pass coverage but can also be a factor in rushing the passer off the edge. He played down in the box a lot during his high school career which makes me think he could play the spear at WVU.

Playing time projection: There's a good chance that by the final month of the season, Burks could emerge as an important depth piece for the Mountaineers. He will be a multi-year starter but where he lines up remains in question.
