Alex Branch brings veteran DB versatility and proven ball production to Akron
In the 2024 season, Alex Branch played in four games at Kent State and posted 21 tackles plus an interception, while his 2023 season showed a bigger sample of impact with 34 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, and a forced fumble in 11 games (nine starts). The key selling point is experience and flexibility: he’s a 6'0", 190-pound defensive back who can handle safety/CB duties, compete physically, and make plays on the ball. He looks like a steady, assignment-sound fit for a defense needing mature depth and toughness.
