Brayden Lavinia '27 Recruiting Profile

I am a motivated, dedicated, and hard working student athlete. I am surrounded by a loving and supportive family.  My high school, Notre Dame Prep, is academically challenging and it has helped me mature a lot since my freshman year.  I enjoy being a leader on and off the field. I love my teammates and we push each other to be the best version of ourselves.  Though we all love to win, I never go to bed knowing I didn't give it my all.  I also know I can always improve so I keep putting in the work.  When I play football, I am at peace.  I am confident in my abilities and never back down from a challenge. I love practices and I LOVE the pressure of games. Football brings out the best in me.  During the offseason, I am in the gym daily (3 days/week with a personal trainer) and training on-field agility (3 days/week with a different personal trainer).

I desire to play at the collegiate level because I know I have the talent and drive to make a difference on any team.  I know the intense, structured daily regimen will translate to superior athletic and academic performance and will help me grow into a man with many options in life.  I am determined to find a great program that can use my abilities to compete at the highest level.
