Robert Burns is a talented running back, but there's much more to him than that. He's very involved at his church, and he even has his own clothing line. He's been able to pursue all of his passions because of his great work ethic, but also because some friends, the Vega family, offered to help. In the process, they all became one family. Robert is verbally committed to the Miami Hurricanes.
Robert Burns of Gulliver Prep in Miami is making headlines as one of the top high school running backs in the country. Known for his incredible speed, agility, and knack for eluding defenders, Robert's football talent is just one aspect of his inspiring story. Six years ago, his coach discovered Robert's gift for preaching when he skipped an award ceremony to deliver a powerful message at his church. Since then, Robert has used his platform not only to excel on the field but also to inspire others through his preaching and his clothing line, Cool Mini Apparel. Despite juggling football, track, schoolwork, and preaching, Robert's commitment and dedication have not gone unnoticed. With his mother living far from Gulliver Prep, the Vega family stepped in, offering Robert a place to stay on game days to help him rest and study. Over time, the Vegas became a second family to Robert, further supporting his pursuit of greatness both on and off the field.
