Four-star TE Keyan Burnett commits to Arizona Football

Getting a major recruiting win for 2022, Jedd Fisch and Arizona Football have picked up a commitment from four-star tight end, Keyan Burnett. 

Things are heating up in the Desert, especially on the recruiting trail as Arizona Football and Jedd Fisch received yet another commitment for 2022, this time in four-star tight end, Keyan Burnett (Orange, CA).

In case you have not been paying attention, Keyan is the highly touted tight end out of the talented Servite High School in Anaheim, CA and is the teammate to current Wildcat commit, Noah Fifita.

The son of former Wildcat great Chester Burnett, Arizona was believed to be a possible destination for Keyan ever since Fisch and the Wildcats started recruiting him, that is until he committed to conference foe, USC Trojans back on March 5.

However, the Wildcats would not go away in this recruitment. Staying persistent, and perhaps with a little assist from Noah’s mom, eventually Keyan de-committed from USC, and it seemed like from that point Keyan was destined to pick the Wildcats eventually, it was just a matter of when.

Well, on Saturday afternoon, Keyan Burnett made it official, as the four-star Southern California tight end committed to Arizona Football.

Making his announcement via social media, Keyan committed to Fisch and the Wildcats, and he becomes the 13th commitment for Arizona, and is the highest-rated recruit for the Wildcats in 2022 based on composite ratings.

Ranking No. 185 overall according to 247Sports, Keyan is the second player the Wildcats have currently committed that is ranked inside 247’s Top 200. Zeke Berry is the other that is currently ranked No. 145 according to 247’s services.

A lengthy and athletic pass catcher, Burnett lines up mostly as a tight end, but is talented enough to even be utilized as a receiver a bit as well.

He has great length and size, he’s quick and explosive, and does a great job at getting to the high point of the football. He is one heck of a football player, and he is a great addition by the Wildcats.

With Noah and Keyan in the fold, perhaps the Wildcats are now the favorite for four-star wide receiver and high school teammate, Tetairoa McMillan.
