Weber State's Intense, Data-Driven LB Rising in FCS
Brayden Perry, Weber State’s 6-3, 220-pound linebacker, stands out as the 2nd youngest starting LB in FCS (29 Fresh/Soph in the 2-deep), combining elite intensity with a data-driven mindset that fuels his on-field decisions. Known for absorbing 'lots of bumps and bruises' yet maintaining relentless intensity, Perry’s differentiator is his rare blend of physical toughness and analytical growth—his 10 senior teammates credit him for keeping the unit cohesive through adversity. While stats show steady tackle production, his true value lies in his personality: a respectful, conversational, and witty leader who amps up team energy. For teams seeking a high-intensity, adaptable LB with leadership potential and injury resilience, Perry is a top-tier fit. His 2025 season performance reflects steady growth, and his 2026 trajectory suggests breakout potential.
