His testing numbers
Testing numbers
none yetNo testing numbers for Braylon yet. His family can add his 40, shuttle, jumps, bench and track times below, with proof.
How we know each number. Verified: a testing company or state meet result we matched to his name, class and date. Coach-confirmed: his coach said yes from a school email. Video-evidenced: a clip of the timer or tape that we watched. Self-reported, in grey: his family's word. Testing numbers here come only through this form.

His best-fitting offers first; pick any 4 of Braylon's 56 to compare. Green is the best in each row. Room counts the players at his spot with two or more years left. Players like him: up to five past recruits whose offer boards looked most like his and who signed at that school, from classes whose careers are over; a real season means 100+ passes, 50+ carries, 15+ catches, 25+ tackles, 3+ sacks or 2+ interceptions. Offensive linemen and defenders from classes before 2016 are not in that row: the box score does not count linemen's work and has no tackles before 2016. History, not a forecast for him. How fit is made.
Schools that should be calling

A starter is six or more games in one of the position's starting slots, 2022-2026 (college snap counts are not public). How it is made. Room is players with 2+ years left plus 2027 commits, against the 68 programs mapped (the power conferences and Notre Dame). How it is made.

The 50 past recruits with the boards closest to his, from classes 2013 to 2022, whose careers are over. A real season: 100+ passes, 50+ carries, 15+ catches, 25+ tackles, 3+ sacks or 2+ interceptions. College seasons from CFBD rosters, on record for 40 of 50. The stats can judge a real season for 12 of those, because the box score has no tackles before 2016. History, not a forecast for him.
