Brayden Platt

Platt is arguably the top two-way prospect in the state in our opinion and he's also one of the top two-sport athletes in the state, a state champion thrower and a Top 100 player nationally in the 2024 class. Platt is the workhorse back for the Tornadoes and had the scorebook flashing his name everywhere- nine carries for 124 yards and two touchdowns, two two-point conversions and a 24-yard reception. Then throw in nine tackles and a tackle for loss in basically just one half of football and you can see why he's one of the top pure football players in the West in the 2024 class. He can run, he can hit, he can catch, he can tackle, he can pretty much do it all. The All-American Bowl selection is a stifling run stopper, if he gets his hands on the back, the back is done running. He doesn't lose many battles against offensive linemen- he shoots the gaps, gets underneath them or sheds his block and stops the runner in his tracks. While his future is certainly on defense, you can see what a weapon he is out of the backfield.
