WR Caleb Burton (transfer to Auburn)

The 5-star wide receiver has had to deal with some adversity though. He’s been frustrated by a longer-than-expected rehab process after hurting himself last season. That injury forced him to miss most of his junior season at Del Valle (Austin, Texas) High School. That frustration didn’t change his approach, though. His father, Charles, said he was more mentally taxed by the recovery than his son was.

“I was always like, ‘Are you OK?” the elder Burton told Lettermen Row. “And he kept saying ‘Dad, I’m good. I’m good.’ I think I was much more worried about the injury than he was.”

The health issues were compounded when his father, who had been the head football coach at Del Valle for eight years, stepped away from that role. That meant more changes for Caleb, including uncertainty around where he’d finish up his high school career. With the chance to work at Lake Travis for Charles, Caleb Burton found his new home and is now in adjustment mode. He’s finishing up his junior year at Del Valle, doing all classes virtually, and then finding time to work out at the Cavaliers facilities whenever possible.

He can’t work with the team at Lake Travis yet. Burton can’t participate in their spring practices, either. Things have been kind of a standstill for the country’s No. 35-ranked prospect.

Bring 'em home Caleb! For whatever reason, I tend to forget we have this kid in the fold. After seeing Ewers absurdly good film lately, I get real excited about this future Texas connection coming to Columbus.

Some nervousness on Twitter-land…..I have no insight. Hope it sticks….

Where there is smoke with these things seems like there is always fire

Already been debunked by Birm on the LR board. Nothing to worry about here.

Good deal, I would hate to not keep Burton in the fold. I can't wait for the Texas to Texas connection with Ewers and Burton...kid is as about talented as G Wilson was at this stage imo.
