Five-star defensive end Jordan Burch, one of the highest-rated uncommitted players in the 2020 class, has changed his his announcement date ahead of the Early Signing Period.

Burch will make his formal announcement live on ESPNU, doing so in a televised special Wednesday in the "2 p.m. hour", according to a press release from the Worldwide Leader. Burch originally stated on Twitter that he would reveal his college pick on Thursday.

Burch's 247Sports Crystal Ball is split down the middle:

Where Burch is leaning heading into the final hours prior to his announcement remains a mystery. He has played his recruitment close to the vest, doesn’t give interviews and hasn’t dropped any clues on social media outside of the ordinary Snapchat posts during visits this season.

Burch has only tweeted three times since August — once before the first game of his senior season at Hammond to announce his appearance in the Under Armour All-America Game in January, a message in October revealing a Top 5 graphic and once on Nov. 18 to say he would be making his commitment public on Dec. 19.

The rest of Burch’s social media activity has been retweets of highlights, stories written about him and congratulatory posts surrounding teammates and comrades.

Reading the tea leaves surrounding Burch’s recruitment, LSU, South Carolina and Georgia — not necessarily in that order — are believed to be the teams to beat, per sources, at least following his weekend trip to Athens. Georgia’s coaching staff ‘felt relieved’ per sources that Burch came to campus and like their chances. Burch has been on the Gamecocks’ campus more than any other program during the courting process, much of that having to do with the distance from Hammond to Williams-Brice Stadium and his relationship with Will Muschamp’s son, Jackson.

Burch’s teammate, four-star defensive tackle Alex Huntley, has been verbally committed to the Gamecocks since June. That is not expected to impact his decision, however. The fact he has visited South Carolina more than any others remains an important detail considering the rampant movement from elite-level programs coming down the stretch hoping to stiff-arm Burch’s hometown team that is offering up immediate, impact playing time as one of the carrots in signing.

Burch’s official to Georgia over the weekend triggered some, much to the chagrin of the South Carolina’s coaching staff who wanted his final visit and an opportunity to “show him plans for the future” as it relates to Muschamp’s uneven tenure. The pass rusher last visited Clemson over the summer.

He reportedly chatted with Dabo Swinney, Alabama’s Nick Saban and Georgia’s Kirby Smart last week and has been in contact with each, in addition to LSU’s staff, coming down the stretch.
