American gridiron football player (1932–1999)
Kurt Burris (June 27, 1932 – July 21, 1999) was an American gridiron football center. He played college football at Oklahoma, where he was an All-American and finished second in the 1954 Heisman Trophy balloting. In 2000, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Burris was selected in the 1955 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, but he went to the Canadian Football League (CFL), where he played for five seasons.
Burris had five brothers who also played football at Oklahoma, including three time All-American Paul "Buddy" Burris. Burris died on July 21, 1999, in Billings, Montana. He was 67.
