Howard DB Brayden Mahone brings sophomore size, upside, and special-teams value
Brayden Mahone is a 6'0", 180-pound sophomore defensive back for Howard, and the roster listings show he remains an active part of the Bison secondary in 2026. His appeal is the classic DB mix that coaches love: enough length to contest throws, enough frame to handle physical play, and room to keep ascending as he adds polish. The public record here is thin on splashy stat output, but that usually means the real story is developmental upside, depth value, and whether he can turn traits into weekly production.
