2018 Miami Commit Thomas Burns Moving to Pittsburgh

with his older brother Artie. This is will be an interesting situation to keep an eye on in terms of recruiting and development. Good luck to him and the rest of the Burns family. Here's an article discussing the matter.

Brother of Steelers top draft pick will likely play in area

Shouldn't change anything IMO. Wonder how the competition will be for him in retrospect to what he's used to

He gone?

Good. Not very much in tune with PA football but I'm definitely glad he's gonna have to still grind it out

Idk if they would have kept his commitment anyway, there's so many talented DBs 17 & 18

Wait till he gets a taste of Pits winter weather, lol.

You can bet Turban Liar will hover over this kid.

Is he any good ?

I don't see any way he would stay committed in that class especially with the talented studs we are in play for

He prob come to Miami on track scholarship if anything

I dont see him getting dropped

Narduzzi will be all over him...

He's playing in the WPIAL which is a VERY strong league in western PA. Not Dade County strong obvs, but still a very good league.

^ I agree

My old high school was one of the ones mentioned as a possible landing spot. If so, watch for the Big Ten schools to try to grab this kid but that will probably happen regardless. I'm actually surprised he's not considering Woodland Hills, Jason Taylor and Gronk's school, but then again that would involve Artie living in a less desirable part of that area. All that said, give this kid 2 years of Burgh winters and he'll more than likely be dying to get back down here.

He was a kid I wondered about with the guys we have committed in that class. Whatever happens I wish the kid all the best. The burns family had had it rough and could use some good years.

Artie to be commended for keeping the family together. And he needs to be near his work. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do - not what you like to do.
