Braden Albrecht '24 Recruiting Profile

I remember playing with my friends when we were in elementary school. One day we brought a football to recess (instead of a basketball), and we played for the whole duration of recess. Not just that day, not just that week, not even just that year, every day at school. Even today, playing catch is one of the things that can help me find my head and take a load off. I've been an athlete my whole life, pushed by my parents to be the best version of myself, I am forever grateful to my parents for the first time I was enrolled in flag football. I am forever in debt to my friends and family that have helped me get to where I am today, not only in my physicality and love for football, but also molding me into flourishing to who I am today.

Athletics are in my blood, I have family members that played at all levels, including the NFL. I am looking for a school that can help develop my mental and physical health. Wherever I end up, I need to make sure I can count on coaching staff, teammates, classmates, and family to help me make decisions and succeed. If I had to name 2 unique characteristics or skills I possess, the skills would be my mentality and hands. I love the game and everything that comes with it. I also earned the nickname "Hands" on my team, I have proven worthy of the name every day on the field, whether that is in practice-- or the real deal.
