Branden impressed as an offensive lineman with his balance, technique, and consistent effort. He stayed low in his stance, maintained a wide base, and showed good hand placement to control defenders. His footwork was smooth and deliberate, allowing him to adjust quickly in both run and pass situations, and he consistently finished reps through contact. Braeden’s combination of technique, effort, and awareness made him a standout performer up front.

Crawford was one of the most physically imposing linemen at the event. He showcased a stiff punch, solid footwork, and excellent lateral movement for his size. His ability to shift weight and anchor in 1v1s stood out as he racked up multiple wins. He is a high-upside interior lineman with power and control.

Crawford has a stiff punch at engagement, he is strong at the point of attack and he has the strength that enables him to get hands on defenders to drive them off of the football. He has nimble feet and he has good lateral quickness. I had the chance to see Crawford in the trenches live at the #ForTheTrenches Camp and he was one of the top young linemen in attendance. Crawford is a name to know who will be making plays in the trenches on Friday nights at Mesquite Horn in the next couple of years.
