The Florida State Seminoles are not having a great season in 2018, but their junior defensive end certainly is. Brian Burns has already notched nine sacks through the team’s first seven games, and has gotten to double-digits in tackles for a loss for a second straight season.

Burns has another year of eligibility remaining, but the thought is that he is going to come out early. He would be a perfect compliment to Arden Key in the pass rush, and given his incredible athleticism, and solid frame, is a guy who could really move all along the defensive line in Paul Guenther’s 4-3 scheme.
