Is it really Flipmas already? It feels like it comes sooner every year.
On a day when Mizzou celebrates its official bowl bid, Eli Drinkwitz and his staff have added yet another reason to make merry. In fact, it was Luther Burden who got to do the initial tease.
FLIPMAS SEASON?!!? Need a spatula https://t.co/UvsiDp0GUK

Shortly after Drinkwitz and Burden teased a flip, Marvin Burks Jr., a four-star safety from Cardinal Ritter who’d initially committed to Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss, announced he’d be staying home after all.

It’s not entirely a surprise. Burks was heavily tabbed to commit to the Tigers back in October before choosing the Rebels. It appears the call of home was too much to pass up, giving the Tigers another young weapon in the secondary.

Mizzou’s defense continues to get richer! Burks’ size and speed leaps off the screen when you watch his highlight reel. He’s a fast, mean hitter who uses his good closing speed to lock down big plays and recover well when he’s struggling in coverage. His natural ability also allows him to outmuscle smaller playmakers, something he’s not afraid to do.
What they’re saying:
After putting on a show at Mizzou in the state championship game, Marvin Burks is coming to play there in college. Wow https://t.co/473FrqPL33

Missouri flips in-state safety Marvin Burks from Ole Miss. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz, defensive coordinator/safeties coach Blake Baker and defensive analyst Noah Joseph all people he cites strong relationships with.https://t.co/yXnkQn1tq7
