One day after announcing his commitment to the University of Georgia, four-star safety Major Burns took a minute to deliver an emotional speech of gratitude to an audience of those who helped him along the way.
“I’m so thankful. I want to thank my mom. She sacrificed a lot.”
He proceeded to thank his brothers, his principal, and one great influence who was unable to participate in the day’s events.
Burns took a long pause after thanking his late father, Tony.
“Even though he’s not here with me today, he made me the man I am.”
After fighting through tears, Burns was met with a hug from his mother and roaring applause from the Madison Prep audience.
Major Burns gave his father another reason to be proud today.
