One of the nation&#8217;s top playmakers and overall athletes is poised to announce what has turned into an in-state battle for his talents.<\/p>\n<p>Burnside&#8217;s decision is down to two between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. The Under Armour All-America Game is being held at Camping World Stadium (Orlando, Florida) <a href=\"https:\/\/underarmournext.com\/football\/all-america\/\">on Wednesday, January 3 at 4:00 pm EST (ESPN).<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Burnside is a four-star and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-sports\/football\/recruiting\/player\/_\/id\/250763\/braylon-burnside\">the No. 166 player in the nation per ESPN<\/a>. He is the No. 248 overall recruit in the nation and a four-star athlete <a href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/Player\/Braylon-Burnside-46110008\/\">according to 247Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There is certainly a lot of attention on him this week as he is the lone player announcing at the Under Armour All-America Game.\u00a0He is a 6-foot, 185-pound wide receiver and safety prospect from Starkville, Mississippi.<\/p>\n<p>Burnside said he waited this long because he wanted to take his time through the process and to also enjoy the platform of committing on ESPN.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s come down to the hometown (Starkville, the home of Mississippi State) and Ole Miss &#8211; the hometown of Oxford,&#8221; Burnside told USA TODAY High School Sports on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the battle of Mississippi as I call it. Looking forward to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Burnside said he will enroll in January regardless of the school he selects.<\/p>\n<p>As for Ole Miss, he said that the program being run by head coach Lane Kiffin is very appealing to him.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I like coach Kiffin and their offense, the way he runs the offense,&#8221; Burnside said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The way he treats his receivers, the way coach Nix (<a href=\"https:\/\/olemisssports.com\/sports\/football\/roster\/coaches\/derrick-nix\/808\">wide receivers coach, assistant head coach Derrick Nix<\/a>) treats his receivers. I feel like it could be a good place for me too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mississippi State, located just minutes from home, is undergoing some changes. New head coach Jeff Lebby, who was the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma, has brought a new energy to the program.<\/p>\n<p>Burnside likes what he has seen from Lebby&#8217;s program.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s been a whole lot of good changes with coach Lebby being the head coach, I feel like it&#8217;s a good look for them,&#8221; Burnside said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This past week of practice has been competitive, Burnside said. Playing in the Under Armour All-America game is one thing, but he said getting high-level coaching is part of the reason why he committed to the game.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I get to compete with the best guys in the nation, it&#8217;s one of those experiences I&#8217;ve always dreamed about,&#8221; Burnside said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you&#8217;re up here, you get every experience, every drill that you want to learn as a receiver and that&#8217;s what you want as a receiver.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Braylon Burnside is set to announce his college commitment at the Under Armour All-America Game.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":286601,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357021"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=357021"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357021\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":357022,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357021\/revisions\/357022"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/286601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=357021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=357021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=357021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
