According to Rick O’Brien of Philly.com Tyler Burke committed Tuesday afternoon to continue his football and education at the University of Maryland.
The 6-foot-4, 240-pound linebacker/tight end chose Maryland over schools like Rutgers, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Temple and others. He had twelve offers. He joins fellow District One player David Shaw of Spring Grove. Shaw committed earlier this month.
He is the second member of his team to commit to a D-1 school. Daquan Worley committed to Penn State last month.
Burke was a key player on the Red Raiders season last year. He helped his team advance to the PIAA Class 4A State Championship game. He had 18 total tackles and two fumble recoveries in that game.
