According to this article he was looking at attending Fork Union the summer of 2011, before his Senior year of HS, for academic improvement. Grades must have been pretty bad.
 
And then there was this from an article dated 8/2012..that makes me think everyone was waiting to see if his academics improved.
[B]EX-AREA STARS AT FUMA[/B]
Former Courtland standout offensive lineman Jonathan Burton has transitioned well to his first semester at Fork Union Military Academy, veteran coach John Shuman said.
Shuman said Burton (6-foot-7, 301 pounds) doesn’t yet have a scholarship offer, but he’s receiving interest from Syracuse University, among other programs.
Shuman said he’s excited about Burton because he has never coached a player his size who hadn’t signed with or committed to a college.
“He has very good talent, good mobility, good feet,” Shuman said. “He’s stronger than what I thought he was going to be. We’ve already talked to Syracuse and a couple of other schools about him. that needs good tackles. He is looking like a good Division I-A prospect at this time.”
