Explosive BYU back with home-run speed and proven big-play upside
Brathwaite is best remembered at BYU for his breakaway burst — including a program-record 95-yard scoring run and multiple long gains that turned ordinary snaps into instant explosives, making him the kind of back defenses had to respect on every touch. He also showed he could carry volume, leading BYU in rushing in 2003 with 812 yards, which suggests more than just gadget speed. If you want a back who can stress the edge, create chunk plays, and bring track-speed juice, he fits; the main question is whether your roster needs a pure pace-setter more than a physical inside grinder.
