"We
started practice around two weeks back," added Brynden Trawick. "We
are really excited about this year. We open our season against Lovejoy."
Brynden
is versatile enough to play several different positions for Sprayberry.
"I
am playing QB, FS, and WR this year. Most of the colleges are recruiting me as
a safety, but Mississippi State likes me at linebacker."
Which position
does Brandon feel like his talents are best suited for?
"Probably
running back because I grew up playing running back. I just started playing defense
when I got in high school."
What part of Trawick's game has improved
the most over the last year?
"My individual skills. Getting my technique
down and coming out of my back peddle. My footwork has really improved. The biggest
gains I have made are on the defensive side of the ball."
Which camps
did Trawick attend this summer?
"I went to Auburn, Ole Miss, and Mississippi
State."
How did each camp experience go?
"Auburn went
pretty good. They have been recruiting me for a while, but I have not heard from
them in a while though."
"MSU mainly worked me at quarterback.
I improved my skills there."
"Ole Miss, I worked on defense.
I improved my skills from the 1 on 1 passing drills."
Which colleges
have offered?
"MSU, Ole Miss, Purdue, Indiana, Boston College,
Maryland, Michigan State, Marshall, MTSU, and La Tech."
Which colleges
is he keeping a close eye on?
"I will put it this way, who ever shows
me the most love by signing day is the team I am going to sign with. It is pretty
much that simple."
A closer look into his recruitment reveals that
three schools have already set up official visits with Brandon.
"I
have an official set up with Purdue on October 27th when they play Ohio State.
The week before that I am going to Maryland when they are playing Purdue. I also
set one up with Boston College on September 1st when they play Wake Forest. Those
are the only three I have set up so far."
Who else would Brynden
like to check out?
"The last two visits I will take after my season
is over so I can focus more on the academic side of the coin instead of football.
I want to see what the school is all about when football is over."
Which
coaches does Brynden call on his on?
"I keep up with all of the coaches
who have offered me. I call all 11 schools who have offered me."
Which
colleges are showing Brynden the most "love"?
"I would have
to say Marshall, Maryland, and Mississippi State."
What stands out
about Marshall?
"The history of Randy Moss, Chad Pennington, and Byron Leftwich."
And Maryland?
"I really like Maryland but I
have never had a chance to visit the D.C. area. I hear they have a really nice
campus and play good football though."
What are MSU's positives?
"I
like their coaches. All of their coaches treat me like a son and treat me real
good. I like their campus too."
Anymore colleges standing out right
now?
"All of them do, Ole Miss, Boston College, Purdue, all of them."
What
are OM's positives?
"I like their coaches too. They have a great
campus too, the nicest I have seen. They are the number one tailgating school
in the country. It would be fun to play in an atmosphere like that."
What
about Boston College?
"I like their bowl experience. They have been
to a lot of bowl games the last few years, and they always have a pretty good
team."
Purdue?
"They always put out good safeties like
Rod Woodson, but I have never had a chance to visit there. I look forward to seeing
what it is all about when I go on my official visit."
