Brian Burns' collegiate career was an unfortunate casualty of Florida State's recent instability. The collapse of Jimbo Fisher's reign in 2017 led to an unproductive 4.5-sack season for Burns on the way to a seven-win campaign for the team. Willie Taggart was hired away from Oregon to replace Fisher and reignite the spark in Tallahassee, but Taggart's first season with the Seminoles in 2018 was a disaster. Though Burns himself found his footing again with 10.0 sacks, Florida State ended the season with a pitiful 5-7 record. The program's demise made it difficult for Burns to shine the way a player of his caliber deserves to.
