About Brayden
Expert Analysis
Connor Jackson | Prep Redzone Scout
Tyson, committed to South Carolina, has been a mainstay on the recruiting trail since his 8th grade years. He is an absolute hammer, hovering closer to 230-240 with a FB-like frame. He is a good athlete with speed to generate explosives, at least at that size. But as you could expect, his ability to power through and wear down defenses is where his money will be made. These guys don’t come around often, and when they do, they are obvious mismatches and X factors at the HS level.

isn’t just an average running back in this Brookwood offense. He is a great representation of what a power back should look like, but don’t sleep on Tyson when he is in open space. He is one of the better running backs in the country in open space, and is a running back who is best when called upon in a stretch run formation, along with being dangerous in single-back. Tyson is one of the players with the highest floor, meaning you know what you are getting out of Tyson, and he will never disappoint. He is also a player who plays the game with a ton of heart and passion, which will show throughout his senior season.

is one of the more physical backs when it comes to this state. He was one who caught my attention at the Corky Kell a season ago, and he is by far one of the better players when it comes to picking up a first down. He will have another successful season and will be one of the better players when it comes to this upcoming season in terms of being an all-around back. He will look to improve before he makes a trip to his new college, as he is without a doubt going to be a college running back. Keeps tabs on him as he looks to secure his fifth running back ranking.

A physical, tackle-breaking back in Gwinnett County who already holds an impressive offer list, Tyson is one of the best 2027 running back prospects in the country and is proving it this fall. A bowling-ball of a back who is so tough to bring down, Tyson has run for 2,123 yards and 26 touchdowns this season. He’s run for at least 200 yards in six games this season and even hit the 300-yard mark against Parkview with four touchdowns. He’s rushed for multiple touchdowns in eight games and is hoping to run through West Forsyth in the first round this weekend. Look for his Prep Redzone ranking to be on the rise as well.

Tyson is a patient runner who shows solid vision and does a good job of shuffling to find lanes. Has the agility to make defenders miss one-on-one at the second level. Overall flexibility is good. Flashes the ability to shake off defenders or move the pile once he gets going. Works in an effective stiff-arm when he’s able to get to the corner on outside rushing attempts.

Georgia has always been known for producing some of the most impressive athletes in the game of football, and Brayden Tyson is no different. The Peach State running back stands at around 6 feet tall and weighs just over 200 pounds of solid muscle. From what I have seen, I am convinced that Brayden is one one of the fiercest runners in the running back position. The University of Arkansas agrees, and became his first offer in late February. With the size and power that Brayden has, it is clear that he’s one of the most difficult backs in the country to bring down, when he has the ball in his hands. With that, he matches that power with speed. Also displays the quick twitch needed for him to turn up the heat when he needs to. With everything that I have seen from Brayden, it looks like he should have his pick of schools to choose from on NSD 2027.

Imagine you’re a Linebacker on defense, defending your own goal line and then you see all 6-foot and 200-pounds of Tyson come into the game at Running Back. It can’t be a great feeling to see a kid who plays along the Defensive Line on defense, come in and run the ball down your throat. However, that’s what Tyson does as a Running Back. He’s a big, solid kid who runs downhill with authority. That power and short yardage quickness should come at no surprise when looking at his genetics. His father, DeAngelo, was a Defensive Tackle at Georgia under Mark Richt and was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens. He went on to play in the NFL for a few seasons with the Ravens and Seattle Seahawks. The younger Tyson is already seeing the recruiting process begin, having already visited Auburn. He may eventually out grow the Running Back position but he is certainly an Athlete to keep an eye on.
