About Brayden

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Old-school safety that can play linebacker

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

I like to hit and I love the game

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

Received an award for highest grade in AP US history as a Junior. I play chess at school and go to youth group

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

Being a leader has been the biggest one, it has translated off the field to my job and activities with others. I learned patience and how to be confident in my ability/all the work I’ve put in.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I broke my right wrist and had to get a bone graft. I missed many months of lifting. Then I tore a ligament in my left wrist and had to play with a club in for the first 4 games of the 2023-2024 season

What type of college are you looking for?

One that lets me go to church on Sunday and can help me get a good education. Most importantly to me though I want to develop into the best possible player I can be, I don’t want to look back on my time as a player and say I could’ve been better and made it farther

Smith is an incredibly valuable player for Marian as he’s on both sides of the ball, but what doesn’t get enough credit is his consistency. Through 3 weeks of the year, he’s already put up 41 tackles a pair of interceptions, and recovered 2 fumbles. 12 of those tackles 1 of those recovered fumbles, and 1 of those picks came this past Friday. Smith is all over the field and has a nose for the football, which is all you can ask for sometimes.

Smith is a fantastic athlete who has been playing on both sides of the ball but is by far the most effective at linebacker. He’s got great range and can easily cover sideline to sideline. He’s got no issue dropping back into coverage and running with a TE up the seams, too. Out of his 68 tackles, 40 of them were solos meaning he was wrapping up and getting to the ball quickly. Another area of his game I liked was just the energy he brings to the field. He can energize the guys around him and that always helps any team.
