veteran Cajuns safety with big-play instincts and hometown edge
In the 2025 season, Bralen Trahan is a redshirt senior safety for Louisiana at 6-foot, 201 pounds, bringing proven experience, physicality, and ball skills to the back end of the defense.[1] He earned preseason recognition as a first-team All-Sun Belt selection and has previously flashed turnover production, including interceptions and a forceful, instinctive style that shows up in coverage and run support.[1][2] The hometown Lafayette product has the kind of mature, reliable presence coaches love: smart, tough, and comfortable in high-leverage moments.[2][3]
