Scouting Dossier

PFF
Strengths
● Explodes out of his stance with fluidity and balance (elite broad jump) ● Best 10-yard split (1.70 seconds) among all offensive linemen at NFL combine ● Rangy player and comfortably reaches backside defensive tackles ● Gracefully gets where he is going and can be a weapon on screens/climbs ● Dogged hands to engage and stubbornly stay attached ● Sinks hips to neutralize power and slow down bulls ● Sees things quickly and makes split-second reads ● Rarely searching — understands angles/moves and gets to work ● Determined worker — learned to love the weight room at a young age ● Voted a team captain by his teammates in 2025 (Brailsford and QB Ty Simpson captained the offense) ● Durable and plays through bumps and bruises (42 starts over past three seasons)
Weaknesses
● Undersized; has always been lighter for the position ● Not a people-mover in the run game (and never will be) ● Blocks with a wide base, which hurts reaction quickness to inside moves ● Struggles to recover once he loses leverage ● Can be pushed from his spot by angle blocks ● Penalized 17 times over three seasons as a starter, including five flags (three holds, two false starts) in 2025 ● Saw some time at guard but likely a center-only prospect in NFL
Projection
A two-year starter at Alabama (and three-year starter overall), Brailsford was the center (right-handed snapper) in offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb’s zone-based scheme. He was a key part of Washington’s Joe Moore Award-winning offensive line in 2023, which helped the Huskies reach the national championship game. He then anchored the Tide’s offensive line the past two seasons. A twitched-up big man, Brailsford fires out of his stance to cut off pass-rush angles or reach in the run game. He lacks the mass and power to manhandle defenders but plays stronger than his size would indicate, and his long wingspan is an asset for him. His range can be weaponized on screens/pulls/climbs, though he needs to be more consistent picking off targets in space. Overall, Brailsford will only appeal to certain teams, because of his frame, but he is light on his feet, tough as nails and can handle everything from a mental standpoint. He has the potential to be a starter for a scheme living in an outside-zone world.

Freak Notes

  • Feldman-Freaks-2025 · #20
    A former three-star recruit who was the anchor behind an excellent O-line that helped Washington make the championship two years ago, he was graded as the second-most valuable center in the country by PFF and earned an 80.7 run-blocking grade that ranked second among Power conference centers. In his debut season with the Tide in 2024, Brailsford thrived in the SEC, making first-team All-American honors after producing 63 knockdown blocks and allowing just half a sack on the year. Against Georgia’s talented defensive front, Brailsford graded out at 94 percent and totaled five knockdown blocks in 70 snaps of action. The 6-2, 290-pound Arizona native has just 19 percent body fat and bench pressed 505 pounds, power cleaned 385 and squatted 675. His agility is part of what makes Brailsford such a terrific center: He vertical jumped 33, broad jumped 9-5 and hit 19.47 mph on the GPS.
