George Branin George Branin 6'0" | 220 lbs | DL Riverside | 2025 State NJ had me at his first clip. Perhaps the single-best highlight he could have opened with, we see Branin’s full potential on display with an immaculate forward lean. He shows that he is fearless, sticking his face into a defender, has a back so flat you could play chess on it, and gets tremendous movement on a down lineman with his posture alone. His bend stays relatively consistent throughout, and he pulls at an acceptable pad level. Branin has also shown the desire to finish each one of his blocks with authority. Defensively, Branin does an outstanding job of consistently establishing a new line of scrimmage no more than two yards in the offensive backfield. From there, Branin positions himself for a two-way go to make a play in either gap. In order to do this, the two-way star gets his hands on and keeps his feet moving – on both sides of the ball for that matter. Branin showcases his upper body strength when he wrestles with opponents up top; however, things will come with less resistance for him as he continues to develop and maintain a solid base – a foundation suitable for both sides of the ball. Branin finished last year with 32 tackles (21 solos), 7 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and scored on his only carry of the season – a 1-yard touchdown plunge.
