About Brayden

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Aggressive, hands on, physical, full speed, ball hawk.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Highly focused, determined, self-disciplined, no quit attitude.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I volunteer at my church for vacation bible school as a camp counselor. I also volunteer coach with my local Pop Warner organization where I played growing up as well as the local Hills Lacrosse Club. I also earned my black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Throughout my years of playing organized sports (football, lacrosse, basketball and baseball) I have learned to put team goals ahead of my own, and most importantly to lead by example. When the game is on the line I want to be the one my teammates can rely on to make a play.

What type of college are you looking for?

One with a highly competitive environment where I can be challenged to reach my full potential.

Having scouted, covered, and coached against Brayden Kelly Brayden Kelly Brayden Kelly 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Watchung Hills | 2025 State NJ over the last three seasons, I can honestly say that I am a fan of this technically sound cornerback. First are foremost, Kelly plays the hands and breaks up passes this way like few high school prospects in the state. In order to do this, he has been seen on film playing trail technique, allowing himself room to accelerate, play the hands, and still be in the position all at the same time. In run Kelly does a nice job of fighting along the perimeter forcing ball carriers back to his help; however, I want to see him improve tackling with the correct head leverage to totally eliminate the sideline as an option. Offensively he can manipulate his speed to lull defenders to speed while also gaining depth on his routes to find openings. Kelly has even been used as a running back at times to create mismatches on linebackers, hitting double moves. I do not know how teams continue to sleep on him.
