| Braxton played very well at the AAA Jr. Combine, and he said he was one of the strongest guys there. His dad used to be a body builder and he has helped Braxton in his strength training while growing up. Braxton will be a 3rd year starter at Center this year, and while he said he is more used to offense, he would rather play DT. He is being recruited by D1 programs at both positions because of his foot speed.
Braxton doesn't plan on announcing untill after his Sr. season, so that should be around Thanksgiving at the earliest, and he plans to go to camps at ND, Iowa, and Florida this summer. FYI he grew up as a ND fan and reports a 3.0 GPA.
Braxton's top three factors in deciding his school will be:
1. The core values of the school and football program
2. Academics
3. Depth chart/possible PT
