2024 4-star WR Braylon Burnside places Texas A&M in his Top 6 program list
It seems as if every other day this summer, another offensive weapon in the 2024 recruiting class has placed the Aggies in their final school list, either before or after they’ve made an official or unofficial campus visit.
This week, 2024 four-star do-it-all wide receiver Braylon Burnside out of Mississippi is the latest rising prospect to place the Maroon and White among his preferred collegiate destinations, joining Auburn, Arkansas, Illinois, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State. A native of Starkville, Mississippi, Mississippi State remains the favorite. Yet, Burnside’s recent visit to College Station on the weekend of June 2 may have thrown a wrench into the Bulldog’s plans.
When accounting for all the electric playmakers Texas A&M has acquired through the recruiting ranks during Jimbo Fisher’s tenure, most notably senior Swiss army knife Ainias Smith, new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino’s prosperous history as a play caller has already resulted in positive gains on the recruiting trail, while at least enticing Burnside from a fit perspective.

According to Rivals, Burnside is listed as an Athlete due to his versatility; currently positioned as the 6th-ranked ATH and the 8th-ranked player in Mississippi, his 2022 junior season is just plain insanity, racking up 75 receptions, 1,158 yards, and 11 touchdowns, including one interception on defense.
At 6-1 and 185 pounds, Braylon Burnside is a matchup nightmare due to route running and keen ability to find holes in the zone, combined with a second gear in his speed arsenal with the ability to lineup anywhere on the field, outside of the offensive line, of course.
Prying him away from the hometown Bulldogs will be challenging, but let’s be honest; all Jimbo Fisher can do is try and hopefully succeed in landing one of the most underrated prospects in the 2024 cycle.
