Looking for a coachable lineman that gives second effort? Mr. Branson is your man! He has the height to look into the backfield and if you watch him closely, it’s full of plays where he understands the importance of extending arms on contact. His skill set allows him to play both on the edge and in the interior line as well. Dylan also knows how to put them long arms to use when fighting off blockers, then at the last second utilizes his wingspan to engulf the ball carrier trying to sneak in his gap. In the near future I would not be surprised if he settled more inside as he stacks on the pounds for high school.
