The Pirates' two-way standout reported via Twitter that Arkansas State was the latest school to offer.
Burns also holds FBS offers from Arkansas, Iowa State, Kansas, Louisiana-Monroe, Missouri, North Texas, SMU, Southern Miss, Texas State, and UTSA.
Last season Burns finished with 34 catches for 631 yards and five touchdowns. He also rushed for 124 yards and had an interception. Pittsburg finished 6-5, falling to Rusk in the first round of the playoffs.
