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

sounds like this guy will be a national recruit. I think it certainly helps that he will camp at ND, and ND needs all the DT help it can get. Let's hope Charlie gets the ball rolling w/ some defensive recruits for next year once Brown gets here.

I'll definetly will inform you guys on the games this coming year, hell I live right down the street form Penn HS. I'm excited I'll actually get to see a national recruit play in high school again. Its been awhile, I saw Rhema McKnight in HS when I lived in Cali.

Braxston Cave Recruited By Big Boys

A kid who may someday play in the NFL is now just a junior at Penn High School. After a national workout recently in San Antonio, TX, Braxton Cave made what everybody knew official. He's a big-time recruit with unbelievable potential. He's the type of kid that has National Champ Florida and Notre Dame battling for him. Braxston Cave is 6'4" 295 pounds. Everybody in the Big 10 is looking at him. He has regular contact with former Notre Dame Assistant Coach Greg Mattison who's now the Defensive Coordinator at Florida. And he's enjoyed going to Notre Dame Stadium and getting to know Charlie Weis. The Indiana All-Stater has grown up a Notre Dame fan, but he's going to make an educated decision about his future. He's visited with Iowa during the Purdue game and Michigan when they played Vanderbilt. Braxton's dad used to be a bodybuilder so pumping iron and watching what he eats is part of his lifestyle. He runs a 5.01 40 and is trying to get faster. He bench presses over 400 pounds and is trying to get stronger. He's grown up under the shadow of the Golden Dome, but you know the other schools are going to use all of their strengths to get his muscle.

This is the kind of player we need. He looks like a monster.
