Chris Burns brings veteran power and proven backfield chops to UMass
A redshirt senior back with a sturdy 5-foot-10, 202-pound frame, Chris Burns arrived at UMass as a highly regarded Pennsylvania rusher and still profiles as a physical, dependable option who can handle contact and grind out tough yards. His background includes 4,043 career high school rushing yards, 71 total touchdowns, and top-15 RB recognition from major recruiting services, which suggests real burst-and-bruises upside rather than just depth-chart filler. If your team wants a seasoned, downhill runner with experience and edge, he’s worth a look.
