"It was wonderful," said the 6-foot-4, 286-pound Burrell. "I felt like home. Sterling Steven Adam and a lot of my friends are going there."
Ohio State and Tennessee have a lot to offer Burrell as well.
"I like the coaching staff and their overall stability at Ohio State," he said. "I could get early playing time too.
"I have a lot of people that I'm close with going to Tennessee," Burrell said. "I feel like coach Jones and coach Mahoney have my best interest in mind."
There are a couple of other schools that Burrell is still thinking about and one could end up getting his final official visit.
"LSU and Florida State are the two I'm still high on," he said. "I'm considering taking an official visit to Virginia Tech or it might last official visit might go to LSU. I'm playing it by ear."
When asked about a decision date, Burrell responded with "shortly."
Burrell has helped C. D. Hylton to a 7-1 record so far this year.
