. Thomas will do anything for the ball and come up with it by any means necessary. He will take big hits and hold on to the ball while maintaining possession through the ground. Added by his size and wingspan, Thomas is a quarterback’s best friend as he uses these physical attributes to his advantage. Additionally, on film it looks like he can simply leap out of the building to high point a ball. Back in my day, they called this “Mossing” somebody. Lastly, have you ever seen that image of the Chicago Bulls’ Dennis Rodman completely laying out parallel to the ground to grab a rebound? Yeah, Thomas does the same thing on the gridiron to come up with the ball.

, Standing at 6’2” and weighing 190 pounds, Braswell is one of the more versatile defensive backs in the state. He is transitioning from Lower Cape May to Pleasantville this upcoming year. This move is a great opportunity for Braswell to showcase his all-around skills. He excels in the run defense, making plays on screens, while also covering on the outside and in the slot. As an all-around, do-it-all safety, he can make impactful plays on the back end as well.
Previously, Braswell lacked the correct platform and team success to shine for this type of award. However, at Pleasantville, he’ll not only have the platform but also the potential for team success. This combination puts him in contention for one of New Jersey’s Defensive Player of the Year awards. Braswell recently committed to Penn State, and capping his senior season with this award would be a fitting end to his high school career.

His well-rounded skill set suggests the potential to contribute on both offense and defense at the collegiate level, reminiscent of players like Travis Hunter. While not claiming equivalence to such a talent, Braswell possesses the capabilities for a dual role in college.
