Braden Boykin '17 Recruiting Profile

My goal for college is to get an education and play football. First I think the most important thing about what makes me a good candidate for a team is that I put the team above my own personal goals. This is not to say that I am not ambitious. I expect more from myself than anyone else. Here's the real deal- I am good at catching the ball where it is thrown (high or low). I am the guy you go to when it is 3rd and long. I am dependable both on and off the field. I am relentless. I am a play maker because I am agile, sturdy, quick and smart. I follow direction and execute precisely. While I know that my height is a disadvantage in the recruiting world, it is far from that in the arena that counts! I measure my effectiveness against the statistics of everyone who plays or defends my position regardless of their height or mine. I expect to be the best without compromise. I work hard to improve everyday because at the end of the day production matters. I work diligently to be an asset to my coach and team. There is nothing like the feeling of adding 6 to the scoreboard except for adding the 6 that seal the win. I play for my team and I play for my coach and I play for the win because I love it. I own every moment, every part of who I am. If I mess up I own it, I take correction and responsibility. Call my coaches, watch me when I am not looking and Invite me to visit your campus. I hope to be measured by my ability, coach-ability, work ethic, speed, head, hands, heart and integrity and how all of that translates to the field. I want the opportunity to EARN a position on a football team with a coach who loves the game and a team that has the will to win. There are others who play my position but none are just like me and I am worth your investment.
