Coming in at a reported 6' 2", 185 lbs., Burton boasts some serious speed with a 4.5 40-yard dash and a 10.98 time in the 100 meter. Last season, he was a force on the ground with 175.7 yards per game and 22 touchdowns. You can check out his junior year highlights courtesy of Hudl:
Meanwhile, the RedHawks continued to flesh out their front seven on Tuesday with the addition of Grosse Pointe South (MI) DE Andrew Sharp. Sharp, who committed to Miami over Ball State, Central Michigan, and Western Michigan, is a two-star prospect according to 247Sports Composite and has the lean size (6' 4", 235 lbs.) that Miami likes in its freshmen DEs.
Proud to announce that I will be continuing my athletic and academic career at Miami of Ohio!! Go RedHawks!!

A first team all-conference selection his junior year with 11.5 tackles for loss, he looks to be a playmaker up front. He discussed his decision to commit with Hustle Belt: "Miami is just the place for me, there isn't a thing about it I don't like. The coaches, geographic location, school and campus, it's all amazing."
