Braedyn is a physical and powerful two-way monster who loves to impose his will. To Braedyn, hitting people on the field is an art form, and he wants to dominate everyone in his path, which fuels his team. Braedyn is always locked in 110% and leaves it all on the field every game.
So far this season, for his junior varsity stats, he has 14 tackles, 6 tackles for losses, and 1 forced fumble. Braedyn's biggest improvement is his strength.
Braedyn, with the help of his coaches, got a lot stronger and also increased his tackling and other stats. Braedyn's biggest motivation is when people doubt him. Braedyn has used people's doubt as fuel to fire himself up with a determination to prove them wrong every time he hits that field.
Braedyn's biggest motivation growing up was his Paw Paw who loved football. Who would tell him about his favorite player, " Mean Joe Green," during his playing days? Braedyn was told he plays just like him because he split helmets every play, or tried to.
A coach can expect that Braedyn is a nice person until he hits the field and unleashes the beast within. Like a machine with a mission.
Braedyn sees himself playing D2 or D3. A school that would stand out to Braedyn would be one that would treat him like he matters. Reaching out and making themselves known. Braedyn wants a football program and academic culture. Marshall comes to mind.
Braedyn's encouragement to those coming behind him is," Never give up, no matter what."
I assess that Braedyn is a super-talented young star on the rise. He has a lotta dogg in him and loves what he does. Braedyn plays with power and physicality by nature. A ton of potential with plenty of room and hunger to grow. This will certainly be a stud to track over these next few years as his game continues to develop more and more. Stay tuned.
