He is a highly productive player with strong hands, quick feet, and an unmatched physical nature to his game. There is no doubt that the toughness he plays with will serve him well in the Big Ten. Braden also plays with a unique level of savviness, as he can win over the top or beat you underneath. We truly believe that his competitive nature will make us better.”
