July 21, 2018
Robert Burns is a talented running back at Gulliver Prep who also preaches at his church and runs a clothing line, committed to Miami.

Speed, agility, and elusiveness make Robert Burns one of the top running backs at Gulliver Prep in Miami. But his story extends far beyond football. Six years ago, his coach discovered Burns had a gift for preaching when he skipped an award ceremony to deliver a message at his church.

Burns balances football, track, academics, and preaching while also running his clothing line, Cool Mini Apparel. The Vega family opened their home to him on game days when his mother lived far from school, becoming a second family. He has committed to the Miami Hurricanes, bringing a work ethic shaped by faith and community.
