Artie Tyrone Burns, Jr. (born May 1, 1995) is an American football cornerback, as well as a hurdler. He attends the University of Miami since 2013.[1][2]
A native of Miami, Burns attended Miami Northwestern High School, where he played defensive back. As a junior, playing safety, Burns made 80 tackles, 10 for losses. He also broke up 12 passes, caused four fumbles and made one interception.[3] Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Burns was listed as the No. 15 cornerback prospect in his class.[4] He committed to Miami, and the Hurricanes are hoping to pair him with Tracy Howard on the outside.[5]
He was an All-USA high school track and field team selection by USA Today in 2011 and 2012.[6][7] At the 2012 Bob Hayes Invitational, Burns broke records in the 110 hurdles (13.35) and the 300 (36.14), both originally set by Michael Timpson in 1985.[3] His 110 hurdles time was the second-fastest world-wide by a youth athlete in 2012, behind only Wilhem Belocian's 13.29 at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics in Barcelona.[8]
