BREAKING: WR Deion Burks Reveals Plans to Leave the Sooners Before February 13th Due to…
Norman, OK — Star wide receiver Deion Burks has sent shockwaves through the college football world by announcing his departure from the Oklahoma Sooners before February 13th. While speculation swirls, sources close to Burks suggest that his decision is fueled by something far more personal than football.
Rumors first surfaced late last week when Burks was absent from team meetings. When pressed for answers, Coach Brent Venables remained tight-lipped, simply stating, “Deion’s got a lot on his plate right now. We support him.”
However, on Monday morning, Burks took to social media with a cryptic message:
“Sometimes, the game isn’t the biggest challenge. Some battles are fought off the field.”
Within hours, reporters scrambled to uncover the reason behind his departure. Was it NIL drama? A hidden injury? A sudden transfer to another powerhouse program?
As the speculation mounted, Burks finally broke his silence in an exclusive interview.
“I love my brothers, I love this team, and I love Sooner Nation. But right now, my family needs me more than football does,” Burks said, his voice heavy with emotion.
Burks revealed that his younger brother, Jamari, had been diagnosed with a rare illness, and his condition had worsened in recent weeks. With his parents struggling to balance medical care and work, Burks made the difficult choice to step away from the game—at least for now.
“Football will always be here, but family is forever,” he added.
While it’s unclear if Burks will return to the field in the future, one thing is certain—his impact on the Sooners won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
