Coaches comments: Braeden embraced his role as the starting quarterback for our team in 2022 and quickly established himself as a playmaker in the passing game. As the season progressed, he proved that he was also a threat in the run game. Braeden has the great arm strength and is capable of making all the throws that he is asked to make in our offense and he is highly effective in making throws in tight windows. Braeden is a competitor and plays the game with an edge. With one complete year in the regular season and two playoff games, he returns this year with valuable experience and is motivated towards continuing to improve individually and as a team. Braeden possesses the ability to be one of the top QBs in our area.
