"I am excited to be a part of history here at ODU. We have a chance to build something special. Having grown up and played high school football in the '757', I know this can be a special place for local players to build their legacy."
 - Coach Burden

A native of nearby Virginia Beach, Burden spent a season as an assistant at Fork Union Military Academy before joining the Monarch staff where he worked with the wide receivers and defensive backs, while also serving as the passing game coordinator and recruiting liaison.

Burden earned his B.A. degree in psychology in 2006 from Virginia Military Institute where he played wide receiver for the Keydets and his name is still listed among the Big South's all-time leaders in receptions and receiving yards. The three-time all-conference honoree also held the school record with a reception in 34 consecutive games.

Burden is the father of Zaria, who was born in March of 2010.
