From GoldHelmet...

Clay is the brother of 2010 UF QB signee Trey Burton. Like fellow Florida DE Anthony Chickillo, Clay is also saying that he picked up an ND offer today. He currently holds offers from Clemson, Purdue, Rutgers, and Stanford, nothing from Florida yet. Clemson is actually an early favorite for him as they have apparently been recruiting him for some time now. Clay's response to the ND offer was pretty enthusiastic though and at least at first blush he is saying that he would like to make multiple visits to South Bend and considers the Irish to be his #2 choice right now after Clemson. This is another recruit with whom Tony Alford has apparently made quite an impression.

At the moment he lists calls Clemson as his leader right now. “It’s because of the relationship I have with the coaching staff. . . .

Tigers remain one of Burton's leaders

By Eric Guimaraes

DE Clay Burton (6-4 235) of Venice, FL says Clemson and Georgia Tech are his two favorites. "They are my top two right now," said Burton. "I've built really good relationships with the coaches at Clemson. I know them all by name." He already had offers from Clemson, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, Purdue, Rutgers, South Florida, Stanford, West Virginia, Ole Miss, Memphis, and Florida International and has picked up offers recently from LSU, Tennessee, Pitt, and Cincinnati. In June, Burton will take an unofficial to Notre Dame and plans to visit LSU and Tennessee over the summer as well. "I really want to get back to Clemson and Georgia Tech too, if I can," he added. Burton is wrapping up spring practices and says he has been "humbled and overwhelmed" by the coaches stopping by his school to visit with him. He says he does not plan to attend any camps.

Bio: Burton has said his top five is down to UT, Notre Dame, LSU, Georgia Tech and Clemson. That's good company to be in considering Burton is one of the top defensive ends in the region.

Moving this thread to the recruiting archives until further notice. I'm sure the offer needed to be made, but until further notice....fruitless.
