Brian Bratton was a do-it-all Furman playmaker with rare return-game juice
Bratton was a game-breaking FCS weapon for Furman, earning Freshman of the Year honors in 2001 and first-team All-SoCon recognition as a return specialist after leading the nation with a 37.2-yard kickoff-return average that season, plus three TD returns and a 36-15 career team record around him. His differentiator was explosive versatility: reliable as a receiver, dangerous in space, and the kind of high-intensity athlete who flips field position and momentum in one snap. If you want speed, toughness, and instant-impact special teams value, he fits.
