Burton's higher profile means more friends

Sorry, this user already has too many friend requests.
That's the message you got from Facebook on Monday if you tried to add Gators true freshman Trey Burton as a friend. That's also what happens when you score six touchdowns in the fourth college football game of your career.
Burton had 5,009 Facebook friends as of early Monday evening, and who knows how many of those were added since his six-touchdown performance against Kentucky on Saturday night at The Swamp.
While you might think Burton celebrated like a rock star after his breakout game, think again. When asked Monday what the past couple of days have been like for him, Burton said:
"It's been fun. I really haven't been doing too much. I was in my room pretty much all day [Sunday] and all Saturday night. I had one class today, so it's been pretty much chill, same as usual.''
Well, there is one difference.
"I can't add anymore friends on Facebook,'' Burton said. “For some reason, they have a limit.''
