During the 2023 season, Burks recorded 47 catches for 629 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. He led Purdue in every category before opting to test the transfer portal.
The Sooners are dealing with the departure of starting QB Dillon Gabriel to Oregon. However, Burks should be a key piece for the unit heading into 2024, regardless of who lines up as the starting QB for Oklahoma.
