Juco WR makes pledge
Dodge City (Kan.) Dodge City C.C. receiver Kenard Burton was planning on having a busy December with official visits, but he's decided to go ahead and end the recruiting process.
"I made a solid commitment to Troy late last week," Burton, a 5-foot-9, 175-pound three-star receiver, said.

"I had a couple of other visits scheduled, but I decided to cancel them. I'm pretty excited."
Burton, a December graduate, will get a shot at playing early at Troy.
"The system they run is wide open," Burton said. "They rotate a lot of receivers, and they're losing a lot of senior wide receivers. They're going to give me a good chance to play early and catch a lot of balls."
Burton was also recruited by Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State. Burton had 55 receptions for 645 yards and three touchdowns as a sophomore.
