Burks was named 2nd Team All-SEC by the AP and Coaches.[8][9][10] In his junior season of 2021, Burks started all twelve games and finished with 66 receptions for 1,104 receiving yards and 11 receiving TDs, becoming only the fourth player in program history with over 1000 yards receiving in a single season.
