Sleeper sets three trips

Rivals.com recently introduced you to wide receiver Isaiah Burel (6-3, 180, 4.53) from Redlands (Calif.) East Valley as a sleeper to keep your eye on. He has three official visits set.

Burel will take his first official visit to Nevada on December 3rd. Next up will be a mid-week visit to Colorado State on December 14th with his teammate tight end Lance Evbuomwan (6-5, 235, 4.8).

Good friends, Burel and Evbuomwan will once again hit the road together right after the CSU visit. The talented duo will head to Lawrence to trip Kansas.

Why the interest in these three programs?

"Nevada seems to have good chemistry between the players and coaches," Burel said. "I also like the area up there."

"Colorado State has been showing me a lot of interest lately," Burel said. "My Dad is in the Air Force and he told me how nice it is in Colorado."

"I think Kansas is an up and coming program," Burel said. "Other than that, I don't that much about them."

Though Burel hasn't set a visit yet to Utah, the Utes have been calling him a lot and are giving him a lot of recruiting love.

"I'm interested in Utah because I think they are a good team," Burel said. "They also pass a lot, which I like."

So far this season, Burel has hauled in 45 receptions for 831 yards and 14 touchdowns. He is also helping East Valley on special teams. He has returned seven punts for 74 yards with an average of 10.7 per punt return. He has returned 10 kickoffs for 294 yards with an average of 29.4 yards per kick. His long kick return was for 91 yards and a touchdown.

On defense getting spot duty, Burel has 13 tackles and three interceptions.

In an earlier interview with East Valley Coach Kurt Bruich was very complementary about his sleeper wide receiver.

"The best thing that Isaiah does is run great routes," Bruich said. "Teams try to double him, but they can't. He's mastered the double move."

"Isaiah is fearless as a receiver," Bruich said. "He will catch the ball in traffic."

"Isaiah has excellent hands," Bruich said. "He's also an outstanding runner after he makes the catch."
