So often people think that the only people in recruiting that get burned are the coaches or the schools win players commit an then de-commit, or transfer, or they just don't become very good collegiate players. Well I would beg to differ on that, players get burned all the time. Schools look to stock pile talent and often provide empty promises that leave young men wondering what happened.
In the case of Devin Burns he was hit with a different type of disappointment. The 6'4 185 lbs. athlete out of Columbus, GA. was ready to make a decision on what school he was going to attend. After trimming down the 10+ offer list he had decided to go with the hometown Georgia bulldogs. Well much to his disappointment when he was ready the bulldogs were having second thoughts and rescinded their offer. Despite that set back the athlete who plays quarterback for Carver high kept moving like he does when defenders get in his way and decided to go with Maryland University. Although it was not his original plan it seems as though with Devin's positive outlook things will work out.
Now as far as Devin's ability on the football field he has a world of talent. I believe at the Maryland the fact that Devin runs so well will be an asset to their spread offense. He also is an extremely accurate passer, who was not asked to throw the ball deep very often, but did work the sidelines well and over the middle. The best thing about Devin's game is the ability to extend the play with his feet in avoiding the rush. For a running quarterback Devin does an excellent job of not only keeping his eyes down field for open receivers, but stepping into throws even as defenders rush to make hits. And if quarterback doesn't work out his has the athletic ability to become a good receiver as well.
