Alabama wide receiver Jermaine Burton plans has declared for the 2024 NFL Draft, he announced on social media on Saturday.

Burton has spent four years contributing in the SEC, playing on some really high-level teams at Alabama and Georgia. Burton spent the 2020 and 2021 seasons at Georgia before transferring to Alabama for 2022 and 2023.

He was a very productive player.

During his career, Burton totaled 132 catches for 2,376 yards and 23 touchdowns. His final season was a 39-catch, 798-yard, 8-touchdown campaign. The latter two totals were career highs.

Prior to enrolling at Georgia, Burton was a four-star prospect and the No. 75 overall recruit in the 2020 recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.

He also checked in as the No. 14 wide receiver in his class and the No. 9 overall player from the state of California, hailing from Calabasas (CA) Calabasas.

Players will have the opportunity to solidify their draft stock at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, to be held in Indianapolis, Indiana from February 26 through March 4.

The three-day event will be broadcasted throughout the weekend on ESPN and NFL Network.

To be eligible for the NFL Draft, players must be at least three years removed from their final year of high school while having used up their collegiate eligibility. Underclassmen are able to request league approval to become eligible for the draft, as are players who have graduated prior to using up all of their collegiate eligibility.

Last season, 69 players were granted special eligibility for the 2023 NFL Draft. 13 underclassmen who had completed their college degrees were also deemed eligible to be selected.

The deadline to declare for the 2024 NFL Draft is on January 15. NFL teams will receive a full list of eligible players in the class on January 19.
