He said he had no idea he was receiving the award on Tuesday.
“It was definitely a big surprise to me. I got called in for like an interview thing, and I had no idea what was going on and then they brought in the trophy, so it was really awesome,” Burnham said. “It’s a huge honor to be recognized as top player in Michigan. There’s not a better feeling. Like I said, it’s just a true honor.”
Burnham is committed to playing at Notre Dame next year in football.
