Early life
Burden was born on December 12, 2003, in St. Louis, Missouri, later attending East St. Louis Senior High School. He played both basketball and football and was ranked by ESPN as the top offensive recruit in the class of 2022. 247Sports and Rivals.com ranked him within the top five nationally.
