Burns has been wearing a green no contact jersey throughout training camp. The Miami Hurricanes are thin on depth at running back. Behind starter Mark Walton Miami only has Sophomore Travis Homer and Junior Trayone Gray. UM is likely to need Burns at some point this season.
Burns was required to wear the green jersey after undergoing shoulder surgery in the spring. He suffered the injury during spring practice.
Burns was a consensus three-star prospect in the class of 2017. If not for dealing with injuries throughout high school he likely would have been a consensus four-star player.
