Miami Northwestern cornerback Thomas Burns tweeted out his decommitment last night -- and that should not be a surprise if you've been following this recruiting cycle.
Burns, the younger brother of former Cane and current Pittsburgh Steeler Artie Burns, has a standing offer from Miami for a track scholarship. Although he had been "committed" to Miami, the football staff has not been recruiting him for this cycle.
Of note: Artie and Thomas have been aware of the situation with Miami and understood it was in his best interests to look elsewhere if he does decide to play football at the next level. However, if he does decide to stick with primarily track then he could very well end up as a Hurricane. From my understanding, Artie is actually an advocate of Thomas pursuing a track career.
