This 3⭐️ OLB Braiden Graves is a straight problem on the field—racking up a dominant 97 tackles, 7 sacks, and 5 TFLs while locking down the pass game with 8 PBUs. He’s not just around the ball, he is the ball hawk—adding a forced fumble and two recoveries to show his game-changing instincts. With elite production, versatility, and a relentless motor, it’s no surprise he’s sitting on 21 offers and has cut it down to a loaded final six: SMU, Houston, Iowa State, TCU, Utah, and Kansas. Wherever he lands, he’s bringing impact, leadership, and a defensive presence that offenses have to game plan around.
