C.J. Broades brings Texas-tough safety instincts to Louisiana Tech
C.J. Broades is a safety with a backstory built on production and physicality: at Pleasant Grove, he posted 123 tackles, 11 pass breakups and 4 interceptions as a senior, then arrived at Louisiana Tech with a reputation for playing both safety and wide receiver and bringing real two-way athletic juice. Reliable scouting pages listed him as a versatile defensive back recruit, and his profile suggests a player whose value comes from range, toughness and coverage feel more than flash. If your team wants a safety who can hit, read, and compete snap-to-snap, Broades is the kind of steady, high-motor fit you notice fast.
