Bryce Braden '25 Recruiting Profile

All boys in my hometown dream of becoming Stratford Elk football players. Our program teaches core values such as tradition, pride, integrity, and sacrifice. The influence of my coaches and teams has made me a better person. We won the championship in 2021, the fourth Texas State Title in school history. Once football season ends, I contribute to our basketball team, being named all-district freshman and sophomore years. On the track team, I run relays and throw the discus. In discus, I won the state bronze medal as a freshman and the 2A state gold medal as a sophomore.

I live by the motto, “Do what is right, even when no one is watching.” This includes outworking my competition, making good choices, and helping my peers along the way. I also strive to be the best in the classroom. My education is a top priority, and I am currently ranked #3 in my class. My involvement in church and community service organizations makes me a well-rounded person and a better leader.
