Major Burns brings SEC-tested versatility and playmaking juice to the back end
Burns is an experienced LSU safety whose calling card is disruptive, physical play: in the 2024 season, he played 12 games with 10 starts, posted 47 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 3 pass breakups. He’s more than a box-score tackler—his career arc shows a defender who can trigger downhill, blitz effectively, and make momentum-swinging plays, highlighted by a 7-tackle, 2.5-TFL, 1.5-sack outing against Ole Miss in 2024. The main fit question is durability, since his college career included missed games, but when healthy he’s a rugged, versatile fit for an aggressive secondary.[2][10][14]
