Green’s playing style as a wide receiver is known for being fast and aggressive. In his belief, the DB’s do not like to press up on him because of his quickness and aggressiveness playing style. He is known to be highly dangerous out on the field once the ball is in his hands. Even if Green has a reputation of being highly dangerous player out on the field, he still believes he still got more room for improvement on speed. He knows that his strengths in football will one day lead to a spot on college football team.
"I believe my ability to make big plays is what I bring to a college football program. "
When you
talk training with Green, his regiment is mixed with many different forms of
workouts from weight training, to agility workouts and 7 on 7’s. He constantly
trains on the ladder working on speed footwork. He also adds in jumps to
challenge his workouts. Track and field helps him with another part of his
training. He also enjoys playing basketball when he is not training for
football.
Green on his training regimen; “I’m never truly impressed with my performance unless in late game situations. I want to be that ultimate receiver. The one that my Quarterback won’t hesitate to throw it to in the corner of the end zone, but until Friday night, I’m specifically working on my speed, mainly on my 40 times.”
Most
athletes have major influences to look up to. For Braxton Green, he tells us
Dez Bryant is one of his major influences in football. Green says to him Dez
Bryant has the greatest hands and is so fluent. Reggie Bush has another
influence on him because he has great agility and speed. Another athlete that
influences him is Sean Taylor because of his fearlessness..PNG)
As an
athlete, you’d always have a memorable or highlight first career experiences.
For Green, his first high school catch was his first memorable moment in
football. He tells us he was so excited when he got home, he was screaming of excitement
as his mother. She was not happy with all the screaming because it was past
midnight and tired. But he didn’t care. He just took it all in and enjoyed his
glorious first moment.
There are
many accomplishments that Green would be proud of on and off the field. On the
field he has the gift to move the ball up and down the field and was named most
improved player by the Coach. Another accomplishment he received was being
student of the month. All Green would want to do for his future right now, is
to have a great senior year and to work hard on his GPA. He has been looking in
to schools that have shown interest to him only. Green says he would love to play
in these following teams; SEC (Southeastern Conference), PAC-12 (Pacific-12),
BIG 10 and play as a true freshman.
Braxton Green

future in the game of football. He will forever work hard and train hard to get
to his goal. He is very coachable and pushes up to the grind. Even when he had
