Vazquez looked like a Division 1 linebacker last year earning second team all conference honors for Oakton. Heading into his final season with the Cougars he looks even bigger and faster than this past season. Turning heads all night, Vazquez finally received his first offer from The Citadel the very next day!

Vazquez was an honorable mention selection as a sophomore for his work at receiver last fall, you may see him getting more carries at running back in 2025. He is a dynamic weapon and with the talent the Cougars have at wideout it makes sense they want to get him in a different position offensively. Watching him take reps at our showcase with the backs, I thought he looked smooth and comfortable in the potential transition. Regardless he will be on the field for both sides, the young man can fly.

Oakton’s Brayden Vazquez Brayden Vazquez 5'11" | 195 lbs | LB/WR Oakton | 2027 State VA was a late addition to our RSVPS and I think he will impress. Vazquez earned all district honors as a junior for the Cougars, he is a fast slot receiver. He has his qb Jack Martin Jack Martin 6'0" | 175 lbs | QB Oakton | 2027 State VA coming with him too, this connection has been working together for quite some time, this should be fun to see.

Brayden Vazquez Brayden Vazquez 5'11" | 195 lbs | LB/WR Oakton | 2027 State VA made some plays defensively for the NOVA Nightmares he showed why he was an all district selection as a sophomore. Another top performer, Vazquez displayed great range on defense and made some tough catches too. His interception at the goaline during one possession shows you he is high IQ type of player. You can see in a year the difference Oakton High School Head Coach Brian Slay has made on the defensive side for this group. Vazquez is another member of their 2027 class that Coach Slay has big plans for.

We have been high on Vazquez for a couple months now and I like what my co-worker Cole Laing had to say about him below:

Brayden will be found all across the field at WR, RB, DB, and on Special Teams. He has good foot speed and can accelerate quickly, outrunning most he will face. The tools are there for his success as he displays good hands, ball skills, and processing of the game. He will find himself ranked next year if he continues to develop his game and builds upon his freshman film.
