What makes you stand out as a future collegiate athlete?
Braxton had 829 yards and 12 TDs in 2017 and had several BIGTIME catches throughout the playoffs and the State Championship game. He’s a tough football player and definitely a student of the game, always studying HUDL. Put this kid on your hands team, because he can go up full extension and come down with the football. He has elite hand-eye coordination and runs excellent routes with precision cuts. A very difficult player to cover. Runs with a natural forward lean and a very athletic burst too. Braxton is a solid all-around football player. With a solid D1 frame at 6’2 and 195lbs he can definitely make an impact at the next level.
Hicks is a skilled wide receiver that has always had a long athletic gait to his running stride. As a sophomore he had right at 800 yards receiving, and he followed that up with an All-State caliber season with right at 1k yards. Body control and ability to time the reception has always been a natural skill for Braxton, you can just throw the ball up top and the long armed receiver can go up and snag the pass. Hicks has really packed on the weight over the last year, and looks to physically to have taken a jump getting off press coverage or just blocking a defensive back straight up on the perimeter. There is no doubt, Hicks body type and skill set looks to be at a D1 level, he is very coordinated as well, and what sticks out is that he consistently catches the football away from his body. Proving that he can a legit vertical threat will help his cause a lot, Hicks will be fighting for scholarships all throughout the offseason, and summer camps could really pay off.

Lol. The problem with him is that he will be unable to read and write simple sentence structures. His stats are padded both in the class room and on the field. He is afraid to get hit and once he does get hit. He is unable to shake it off.
Seems to be from watching a lot of the games in person, he’s quite the opposite of much of your statement.
If Braxton Hicks was black he’d be an all American
Well. Here were are 5 years later and the kid has yet to prove he is a real D1 athlete. He might be a D2 level player and might do well with in that situation. Again, all prior stats were padded. He has yet to catch a pass in real game situations. He’s at best a scout team only player. I believe his dad wanted him to go to ga just to be able to get free tickets. And say. My kid plays for Ga. Real athletes would find a place to play and start. Not just ride the scout team bandwagon. He was lucky enough to be held back a couple of grades in order for him to mature. Always playing down to Competition never playing up to improve. He was always the biggest and fastest kid in 1A. You put him in 7A or 8 A he gets smoked and is a 2nd or 3rd string player.
Yeah, this scouting report was probably a miss, but keep in mind, when I use ‘D1 player’ in referencing a recruit, it’s me saying not an FBS player in the nicest way possible. I do make a point to call certain recruits FBS or P4. You won’t see me write directly this guy is an FCS player. It’s just not worth the headache of helicopter parents or angry coaches or whatever.
I do think there are two types of UGA PWO. Ones who want to pretend to be a football player and guys like Stetson Bennett/Mekhi Mews who want to take guys starting jobs.
