Top 10 college football WRs returning for 2024 season
3. Luther Burden III
With 45 catches and six touchdowns as a freshman in 2022, Burden III proved he possessed plenty of talent. This past season, he put it all together, catching 86 passes for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns for a surprise 11-2 Missouri squad that featured one of the most potent offenses in the SEC. Burden III began the 2023 season with 96 yards or more in each of the Tigers鈥� first six games and had three games with 10 or more catches during that stretch. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound wideout has good speed and can also go up and make contested catches. Another season alongside talented quarterback Brady Cook should be beneficial for Burden III and he is poised for a special junior season before potentially heading off to the NFL.
