Braden Gilliland Braden Gilliland RB Appalachian | 2026 AL is a talented back from Appalachian who’s made a massive impact for his team’s ground game the last two seasons.

“Gilliland is explosive on the ground. He has great vision, impressive speed, and dominant contact balance he uses to create huge plays out of the backfield. I’m impressed with how well Gilliland follows his blockers. He sees the field really well and patiently waits for his blocks to develop, helping him sometimes go completely untouched by defenders.

Gilliland is also a reliable pass catcher out of the backfield. He has a good set of hands and is great at staying on his feet and making the most out of each reception.“

Gilliland has been unstoppable this season, recording 126 carries for 1285 yards and 20 TDs on the ground.

You’ve got to watch some of Gilliland’s clips below. He’s an exciting back having a huge senior season. It’ll be fun watching him dominate down the stretch.
