Name: John “Jack” Burtis (just recently found this out)
Height: Taller than me (but isn’t everyone)
Weight: Heavier than me (but isn’t everyone)
Favorite Thing: Smiling
Jack “Air Bounce” Burtis is an O-Line cutter on Bolt who’s throws are about as bouncy as a little kid in a bouncy castle. Oh, you want him to throw a normal backhand…not possible, sorry coach. Being one of like three people on Bolt to be able to throw an air bounce is a pretty phenomenal feat. Go Jack!
Jack is a computer science major, I think. Well, he has to be smart because he managed to snag a bed to himself on spring break in a room full of freshmen who were all double bunked. He’s also great a working a washing machine, don’t ask me how I know.
Don’t let that smile fool you though, cause Burtis leads a mean chant to fire us up before games, even if no one knows the words because we were never taught them. He like starts yelling and bouncing around uncontrollably and makes you think “I want some of what this kid is taking”.
Will Burtis ever learn how to throw normally? Tune in next week to find out.
