Colin Brady has had quite the career. The incoming senior has run for over 4,000 yards. If things go his way, he is in position to have another banner year.

New head coach Beau Jackson likes what he sees. “Colin Brady is incredibly skilled. His size, speed, and explosiveness makes him a terror on the field. He is projected to be one of the best running backs in the WPIAL but he is also a force on the defensive side of the ball”.
