After making a DSFL record 142 tackles for the Luchadores in the S5 season, Brian caught the attention of many scouts in the NSFL. Brian was approached by the newly rebranded New Orleans Second Line general manager Bovovovo, and was ultimately drafted first overall in the S6 NSFL draft. Brian knew he was going to be part of a rebuilding team, so he did everything he could to grow into the player that they would need in a few seasons when they would finally be Ultimus contenders. Playing beside long time veteran Wallace Stone helped Brian in his rookie year, but the biggest help came when NOLA GM Bovovovo traded for linebackers Julian O'Sullivan and Vincent Sharpei. Learning how to play linebacker behind these seasoned veterans gave Brian the experience he needed to become a great linebacker. Brian celebrated an Ultimus win with New Orleans in the S9 season, when the Second Line defeated the Baltimore Hawks.
