Coach Says: Brady has a relentless approach to football. He is very physical and demands attention. He had great success as an Edge rusher for us and gave opposing Offences problems. His hard work showed at the end of the year when his Stats proved to be 1st Team All State worthy and being selected. Going into this year as a Junior, Brady is becoming more of a vocal leader as well.
