The No. 13 safety recruit in the country, Brandon Burton, plans to make his college commitment live on the midnight SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt, kicking off National Signing Day, Wednesday, Feb. 3. Burton is the first of 14 ESPN 300 commitments being covered live throughout the day in the 11th annual ESPNU National Signing Day Special.
His announcement in midnight (ET) hour of SportsCenter will mark the earliest live Signing Day commitment ESPN has ever covered. Burton lives in California and will be televised from ESPN’s Los Angeles studio.
Burton is deciding between Arizona, Florida State, UCLA and USC.
