CINCINNATI — The UC football team added a new commitment to the 2025 class in three-star East (Ohio) athlete Taizaun Burns.

According to 247Sports, Burns is the 186th-ranked athlete nationally and the 107th-ranked player in Ohio.

He held 18 offers from schools like Marshall and Kentucky before picking Cincinnati and becoming their 20th commit in the class. The 6-foot, 150-pound versatile star played running back, free safety, and cornerback in high school.

Burns could fit into multiple spots once he adds more bulk under Niko Palazeti's watch. Check out his highlights here.
