DITR – Braylon Dusang

Braylon Dusang is a 6’4″, 305 pound, class of 2024 OL and DL from Holy Savior of Menard High School in Alexandria, Louisiana. Braylon predominantly lines up as a DL for the Eagles and wrecks havoc on the opposing offensive line. His huge frame and physical strength allows him to bully offensive lineman and get pressure on the quarterback, or to plug up a gap when the other team is running the ball. Braylon still plays on the offensive line somewhat regularly, enough to earn 1st team all-district on offense as well as on defense. Braylon mentioned that he models his offensive craft on Terron Armstead and his defensive game on Cameron Jordan, two talented NFL veterans who use their size and strength to dominate.

Braylon is one of Gridiron Football’s newest Bowl Game invite, for the game in December. Braylon was one of the top performers at Gridiron Football’s recent camp in Jonesboro, Louisiana, and was invited based on his performance. At the camp, Braylon ran a 5.85 40-yard dash, a 4.80 shuttle, and jumped 6’10” in the broad jump.
