You're right I am from Smith Center and yes, I'm probably biased. However, we've had some pretty good players go through the program at KSU (Brooks Barta, Jeff Simoneau, Mark Simoneau, and Justin Montgomery). All of these players were great Redmen players prior to wearing purple on Saturdays. Braden has all of the same qualities and the same work ethic of all of the aforementioned. He also has good size and can be flat out "mean and nasty" on the football field. In four or five years you might be able to tell me I was dead wrong on this and I'll be man enough to eat crow, but I seriously don't think that'll be the case.
