It was just over a week ago when Illinois 2025 linebacker, Christoper Burgess, attended an Ohio State camp and earned himself an offer.
The 6-foot, 4-inch, 230 pound defender wasn’t done with his camp schedule, as he went south to participate in the Rivals NextGen Five-Star Pro Day in Atlanta, Georgia.
The rise of the Illinois linebacker continued as he once again performed at a high level, this time winning the defensive line MVP. At this point, it looks like the 247Sports Composite Rankings of No. 200 overall the and 19th edge rusher might be a bit low.
Happy to announce that I won DLine MVP at the rivals 5Star camp!! Learned so much from this camp. @BWILLnfl @adamgorney @Rivals_Clint @EDGYTIM @RivalsCamp @Rivals @rival #Chitown #Flintstone @TheSHOWByNXGN 🥇@SimeonNation pic.twitter.com/wvJsvOFoHO

It is still very early in the process for Burgess, so expect the Buckeyes to try and keep their inroads from Illinois to Columbus strong.
