Leapfrogging his OSU commit teammate in the 247 rankings. Who'd have thought we'd have a more touted receiver prospect than the Buckeyes on the same HS team?
- Previous rank: 3-star, No. 615 overall
- New rank: 4-star, No. 231 overall
The DePaul Catholic offense was touted nationally as a powerhouse going into the season, four-star 2026 quarterback Derek Zammit and Top247 Ohio State receiver commit De'zie Jones regularly cited as the notable playmakers.
Six straight wins in as many contests later, Elijah Burress is named alongside Zammit and Jones as the names of note alongside a teammate on the other side of the ball in Composite four-star Ohio State safety commit DeShawn Stewart.
Burress opened the season with three touchdown receptions on four catches for 104 yards. He followed with two catches for 97 yards and a touchdown a week later. And over the last two games, Burress has recorded eight catches for 238 yards and three touchdowns.
With a half-dozen games under his belt, he's recorded 18 catches for 535 yards and eight touchdowns, good enough for a nearly 30-yard per-reception average. So, this added star is no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention to the young receiver this year.

Didn't see last night's game highlights, but he's been wearing ND accessories during his games in a telltale sign of wear a kids head is at..
5 TD’s 377 yards does have two INT maybe the staff let’s him play defense if we can land another WR
Could be a good box safety or safety/lb hybrid. Possession receiver maybe has some value. Strong kid
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
Nothing against remotely decent competition, all his yards are against 2 inferior teams.
Who are these burress haters of which you speak?
Yeah, I thought Bettis was the one everyone was bothered by?
There have been quite a bit hating on both Burress and Bettis …. Complaining that this is “all we can get” …. Regardless, that video of Burreess sure looks the part.
Agreed! Kid has some damn sick moves with the ball in his hands. His nickname may be 'ankle breaker'!
He was, we missed on all our top 7 targets so picking up a legacy recruit who didn't look to have P5 skills was a letdown.
