A linebacker in Australia: Vanderbilt’s Oren Burks is down under for biology program
Jamaica? Houston? Australia? Vanderbilt linebackers have been turning up everywhere in the past week. Now, it’s time to add Oren Burks to the list.
Burks has touched down in Australia as part of a biology class on the diverse plant and animal life of the country.
The full name of the course is “BSCI 3890: Corals, Koalas and Cassowaries: Great Barrier Reef and Tropics of Australia.” Safe to say it’s not on the list for every football player.
Burks is enjoying his first handful of days down under.
