Coach says: “Brody is a versatile, do-it-all player — a powerful runner who can also catch the ball effectively from the slot or out of the backfield. He’s the kind of athlete you can build an offense around. On defense, he’s a shutdown corner and a physical presence in run support”.
Let’s get to know Brody!
