Dylan Braithwaite brings elite speed and return-game juice to Rutgers
Braithwaite is a compact Rutgers wideout whose biggest calling card is explosive athleticism—EA’s 2026 ratings list him at 96 speed and 96 acceleration, with strong agility and jumping marks that fit a quick-strike, space-creating role. Rutgers’ roster notes he played in seven games in 2025 and scored on a blocked-punt return against Norfolk State, while also earning Academic All-Big Ten honors twice, which points to reliability and coach-trust traits beyond the box score. He looks like a fit for teams needing a high-upside slot/return weapon rather than a pure volume target.[2][9]
