GETTING TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BRAYLON

What is the best part of being a student-athlete for the Bulldogs ?
The best part about playing for my school is that we are always competing for district and conference championships. The community is always behind you in every sport and it makes playing sports more enjoyable.

Why do you play football ?
I play football for the adrenaline rush you get. There is no better feeling than waking up on a game day and going to school just anticipating that first snap.

How long have you been playing football(any level) ?
I have been playing football since I was 7 years old. So this will be my 11th season playing.

It’s GameDay !! What are you looking forward to the most ?
Definitely just the feeling you get right before the game. It’s feeling like nerves, adrenaline, and a lot of other things just balled up into one. If you have played football you know the feeling because everyone loves it.

Of all the road games you have played, which stadium had the best overall atmosphere, along with what made it so good ?
Definitely the state playoff game at Farrell High School when we played Fort Cherry. This game definitely had the best atmosphere because that was the biggest game I have ever played in and everyone from the community was there cheering us on.

If the game is on the line, do you want to be on offense or defense ? Explain:
I would say offense. I like having the ball in my hands to seal the deal.

As an athlete, what has been your biggest achievement ?
My biggest accomplishments have been being an All-State QB 2 years in a row and then also being named an All-State Pitcher this year.

What was the high point of the 2024 season ?
The high point was making it to the district championship when a lot of people doubted us because of the people we lost.

What are your goals for the 2025 season ?
My main goal is to win a district championship and hopefully win a few state games. Then personally, I would like to beat my single season records for passing and just have a great last year with my friends.

What are you going to miss the most from the class of 2025 ?
The friendships I will miss. I have grown up with them and not being able to talk to them like I have in the past will be different.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like the most, and why ?
My dad because he is a leader. He leads our family and does so much for us.

Who is your favorite sports star and why ?
Tom Brady, he is definitely the most decorated football player and he won super bowls so it was fun to watch.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most ? Explain:
Yes, it was 2 years ago, opening drive against Fort Cherry. I threw a seam to my slot and he scored to put us up early.

Friday Night Lights or Remember the Titans, because there is a lot of football involved.

Name one thing you’d love to do in football that may never happen ?
Win the State Championship.
