An athletic prospect that is somewhat of a hybrid Linebacker/Strong Safety, which allows him to be used in any multiple situations and defensive formations. After running indoor track with the high school this past winter, and placing in the State Championship, his speed is a clear difference maker at this point. Has a PR of 11.92 in the 100m as of May 2025. Offensively plays Running Back and was highly productive there as well. Concluded his middle school career with a Kentucky Future Stars selection.

I make no bones about the fact, that I am a very firm believer in genetics being more than half the battle when it comes to projecting the success of a middle school football prospect. In the case of Broderick Abren Broderick Abren 5'9" | 170 lbs | LB/DB Louisville Central | 2029 KY , W.E.B. DuBois Academy’s reigning Defensive Player of the Year, the future looks very bright. As noted above, his Father played at Kentucky in the early 2000s after a stellar high school career and it looks like the the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. The 2029 prospect has a strong, muscular frame and is really starting to take off athletically. For proof of this, he has PR’d in four different track and field events since February, highlighted by a 11.92 in the 100m and an 18′ 1.5″ in the Long Jump.
