I really like what I’m seeing from Brayden Carpenter Brayden Carpenter 5'10" | 165 lbs | DB Three Rivers | 2027 State MI .

Starting off, Brayden has an excellent Sophomore season highlight tape. A lot of off-man coverage where Brayden perfectly reads the receiver, either jumping the route when his opponent breaks or staying patient and sticking with his man downfield. His highlights also suggest above-average ball skills. Not a pickoff artist, but still super solid at breaking up passes. There’s also a decent variety of run stops- Brayden is solid, but not standout while stopping the run.

What makes me optimistic more than anything is Brayden’s commitment to offseason competition. He’s at camps, he’s working out on his own time, and he generally seems very committed to his own development. Brick by brick, Brayden is gearing up for a breakout Junior season. We’ll see, but I feel that Brayden is another D2 ceiling D3 floor guy.

Brayden Carpenter Brayden Carpenter 5'10" | 165 lbs | DB Three Rivers | 2027 State MI is another skilled defensive back with tremendous ball skills and speed. He displays clear instincts and the ability to high point the ball and utilize his closing speed to make life impossible for receivers. He plays far beyond his years as far as instincts and football IQ, which can carry players a long ways. I am excited to see him continue to evolve his game.
