About Brayden
Expert Analysis
Alex Pallone | Prep Redzone Scout
- Looks great coming off injury
- A well-built 5’9″ 170. Not super skinny like most WRs his height
- Good change of direction + route running
- Can work on ball tracking, body control, difficult catches
- Unsure where colleges view him. Extremely difficult to stand out as a receiver.
- Breakout senior season is likely. Looking forward to seeing Brayden at full strength. Stock could rise more.

A major standout! Loved what I saw from Brayden, especially in the competition portion. Brayden was easily the most explosive receiver I watched. Like any great slot receiver, Brayden does an excellent job of exploding off the ball. In addition, Brayden has the speed to retain that separation, and the change of direction to effectively run the entie route tree.
I was unable to evaluate Brayden’s ball skills as thoroughly as I would have liked, largely due to the inaccuracy of the passes being thrown his way.
I also heard great things about Brayden from a couple of other people in attendance. I’m aware that Brayden was injured for much of last season. I fully expect Brayden to have a breakout Senior season. I would expect college attention to ramp up, too.

Strengths
- Good speed
- Good COD
- Examples of good route running (comebacks, post)
- A few instances of good catch in traffic
- Good release
Weaknesses
- Doesn’t stand out with vision, return game, etc
- Few explosive plays
- Questionable vision
- Bad blocker
- No contact balance
Enough strengths to be a great high school slot receiver, but doesn’t stand out enough to be a Division 2 prospect. Jumps out with athletic ability- could definitely develop at D2 level. Good footwork and change of direction. Needs to work on blocking, contact balance, all-around physicality.
Great D3 prospect who should be highly sought-after at that level.

I said the other day that I was pumped to watch Brayden, and I was not disappointed at all. Running quick and clean routes seemed to be 2nd nature for Platt, and he showed a ton of concentration to make some impressive plays. He seemed very comfortable cutting and changing direction, and impressed with his hands. I can’t wait to see how he is utilized this fall, as he still seems to be a threat from a variety of positions!
