Brayden Briggs '15 Recruiting Profile

COMMITTED to Gardner-Webb University.  Go Runnin' Bulldogs!

SENIOR SEASON UPDATE: Team went undefeated 10-0 during regular season and secured our Region Championship. Made it into 3rd round playoffs and was knocked out by Spanish Fort with a field goal in the last 3 seconds of the game.  Finished the season 12-1, which was the second best record in McAdory High School's history. 

I am a 3 year Varsity lineman and have received a few D1A and D1-AA scholarships offers to date.  I have played Offensive Tackle, Offensive Guard, Defensive Tackle, limited Tight End and have snapped for my team in practice on several occasions.  I am one of the captains for our team, and my coach relies on the leadership I provide for our offensive line.  I was recognized as an Honorable Mention to the All Metro West Team in 2013.  I love football and will play any position that is needed to ensure the success of our team.  I am 6 feet 3 inches tall and weigh 280 lbs.  I bench press 365 lbs., parallel squat 480 lbs. and power clean 230 lbs and continue to become stronger every day.  I am a senior at McAdory High School in McCalla, AL and I make sure to accomplish everything to the best of my ability.  My goal for 2014 is to continue to be a leader on my team and make a positive impact on each and every game, practice or scrimmage I participate in.  I anticipate a winning season and desire to earn the individual awards of All Metro Team and All State Team my senior year.  

While dedicated to football, a high level education is also important to me.  I am ranked in the top 5% of my class, enrolled in AP classes and hold a 4.0+ GPA.   I sat for the ACT in April 2014 and earned a Composite score of 29.   I am a disciplined athlete with a work ethic that reflects in my performance both on the field and in the classroom.  I am looking for the best opportunity where I can balance my love for both football and academics at the collegiate level.  My dream is to be a key player for a Division 1 Football Program.  I am a peer leader and committed to being a positive role model and mentor for others on and off the field.

I am a team leader and will out work anyone. I believe hard work and conditioning builds muscle memory which elevates my level of play for our team.  I am coachable and able to quickly learn offenses and defenses to ensure our success on game day.  I strive for continual improvement and worked during the off season with a certified D1 Sports Trainer to improve my quickness and agility.  I have a strong desire to play football at the collegiate level and am looking for a school that will capitalize on my talents. I have not chosen a major yet but am interested in sports, science, medical technologies and possibly pharmaceutical school.
