One of the state’s top senior high school football prospects flipped his commitment to Indiana on Thursday.
Warren Central defensive end Tyrone Burrus Jr., who had been committed to Louisville since the end of June, took visits to Indiana for games against Nebraska last month and Michigan over the weekend before making his decision to commit to IU public on his Instagram account Thursday morning.
“I have a great relationship with coach Buddha (Williams, the defensive line coach) and (defensive tackles coach Pat Kuntz),” Burrus said. “They have been recruiting me for a while now.”
Burrus, a three-star prospect on the 247Sports composite, is a 6-4, 235-pound defensive end who has 42 tackles, nine tackles for loss and six sacks this season for the Class 6A fifth-ranked Warriors (10-1), who will host Center Grove on Friday in a regional game.
Burrus said his original decision in June came down to Louisville and IU. He also had offers from Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Michigan State, Minnesota, Purdue and West Virginia.
Indiana now has 21 known commitments in the 2025 high school graduating class. Lawrence North wide receiver Davion Chandler, Carmel offensive lineman Evan Parker, Kokomo tight end Andrew Barker and Bloomington South kicker Bryce Taylor are other in-state recruits currently in the recruiting class.
Burrus’ teammate, junior defensive lineman Jerimy Finch Jr., is ranked as the state’s top prospects in the 2026 class. Finch has an offer from Indiana, along with Notre Dame, Michigan, Penn State, LSU, Ohio State and many others.
