Burse, drafted in the third round of the 2006 MLS Superdraft, has yet to make an MLS appearance and plays on the F.C. Dallas reserve squad. He attended college at Ohio State University, also graduted from St. Xavier High School in Louisville, Kentucky. His 162 career saves and 1.11 goals-against average has left him as one of OSU's best goalkeepers to date. In high school Burse was named an All-American playing as a forward.

During the 2006 season for FC Dallas, Burse made no first team starts, but was regular on the reserve squad. Burse finds himself in good company in Dallas with Alan Knight, Dallas' goalkeeping coach, and fellow goalkeepers, Dario Sala and Shaka Hislop both of whom have played at some of the highest levels of the game.
