Ariz. WR Burke produces

The production was there for Kyeler Burke this fall, now he's optimistic that his on-field success could lead to more attention.
The three-star wide receiver from Chandler (Ariz.) Hamilton has heard from nearby Arizona State and Notre Dame up to this point in the recruiting process and also been receiving mail from other programs.

Burke, the No. 6-rated prospect in the state for the 2016 class, made it to a couple Arizona State games this season.
"It's pretty cool there," the 6-foot, 167-pound Burke said. "I grew up around the program since my dad went there. It was definitely cool to be on the field during pregame and sit in the recruiting section. I really like that they throw the ball. They are a lot of fun to watch. If I ended up there, it would definitely be a fun place to play with how much they throw the ball."
Burke also kept a close eye on the Fighting Irish.
"They have been sending me mail and I talk to coach [Bob] Elliott through Twitter quite a bit," Burke said. "I went out to Notre Dame last summer and I definitely want to get out there again this coming summer. They're a national power every year, and I love that offense. It's not as spread out as ASU, but it's still fun to watch. The campus is also something you don't really see anywhere else in the Pac-12."
Burke said he hasn't started planning any offseason trips, but would do so after his basketball season is done. Hamilton fell to rival Chandler (Ariz.) in the state Division I championship game at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The two-way athlete caught 75 passes for 976 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior. He also added 464 rushing yards and three scores, and tacked on nearly 400 return yards on special teams.
