About Brayden

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a Tight-End that loves to block, but can also get open in space and catch great in the red zone with strong hands.

Brayden is the only tight end on our list, but he definitely deserves to be #2 overall in this ranking of receivers and tight ends in Western North Carolina. Brayden has great size at 6’5 and 240 pounds, and he’s already showing that he’s a 3-down tight end. I like him as an in-line blocker; he really does his best work on down blocks against EDGE players, driving his feet well on contact until the echo of the whistle. As a pass receiver, he doesn’t have a large set of routes – mainly by the design of his team’s offense- but he shows he can run away from linebackers in coverage, and he makes the most of the catches he does get, with some nice run-after-the-catch ability. Brayden has an offer from Miami of Ohio and some Power 4 recruiting interest. Expect that to increase, especially if he makes some good impressions during the upcoming camp season.
