He told us about his running ability which sets him apart. "I have been told that my strongest attribute is that I can run. Cause I have played running back my whole life. But I also have amazing coaches that have helped me out a lot! So I'm real thankful to have them." Burton also is very involved in ministry for his church and told us a little bit about it. "The off the field highlight [for me] is giving my testimony at churches and getting people to know the Lord Jesus Christ. My on the field high light is probably winning districts this year and last year."
