2026 NFL Draft Prospect
  • Height: 6-2
  • Weight: 289
  • School: Alabama
  • Class: R-Junior
PRO CON
Punishing blocker with a rare combination of agility and speed for an offensive lineman. Flows to the next level looking for contact. Great footwork and pad level help him anchor despite his smaller frame. Overall finisher. Smaller build both in weight and shorter arms (32 inches). Gets pushed backwards by more dominant defensive tackles. Overreach is a technique issue that may be tied to overall size limitations.

OVERVIEW: When Kalen DeBoer left Washington for the head coaching job at Alabama, one of the first moves he made was bringing Brailsford along. It wasn't necessarily a hard decision, as Brailsford earned Freshman All-American accolades in 2023 and even earned recognition for his redshirt year in 2022 when he was named Offensive Scout Team MVP. Once arriving at Alabama, he started every game at center and was a key contributor on a highly-decorated offensive line, which included current Cowboys guard Tyler Booker.

COMPARISON: Sedrick Van Pran-Granger
