Expert Analysis
Matt DeBary | Prep Redzone Scout
A lean, athletic EDGE defender with impressive instincts who can naturally attack the quarterback, Braxton is one of the more underrated defenders in the Atlanta area coming off a really strong junior season for Langston Hughes. The 6-foot-2 215-pounder can disrupt the passing game but also showed he can rush the quarterback, earning 11 sacks in addition to his 96 tackles and 14 TFLs. Look for him to have a giant final season in 2025.

An instinctive defender who can rush the quarterback, stop the run, and play the ball in the air, Braxton brings size and playmaking ability at 6-foot-2 215-pounds. He’s a natural defender and a sure tackler who tackled everything in sight last fall for an outstanding Langston Hughes team. One of the more productive defenders on an extremely talented defense, Braxton made 96 tackles, 14 TFLs and a team-leading 11 sacks and two big INTs. Look for him to be added to the next 2026 rankings update this spring.
