Brayden Crawford brings a gritty, physical presence to the middle of the offensive line and flashes natural movement skills that stand out for an underclassman center. At 6-0, 262, he’s slightly undersized for now but compensates with quick feet, solid balance, and a mean streak that shows up on film. He’s light on his feet for his size—able to pull, climb to the second level, and redirect defenders with controlled aggression. His run blocking jumps out: he finishes plays, drives defenders into the dirt, and consistently moves bodies off the ball with leverage and strength.

Technically, Crawford already shows a dependable shotgun snap—tight spiral, clean trajectory, and consistent placement to the quarterback—which is a major plus for a young center. He displays sound hand placement in both run and pass protection, though his strike could use more pop to neutralize bigger defensive linemen. Areas for growth include pad level, base width, and generating more power through his lower half on drive blocks. Continued refinement and natural growth could push him into legitimate college consideration as he adds size and polish.
