Brayden Tyson, the talented four-star running back from Snellville, Georgia, has become quite familiar with Florida State. Since receiving an offer from the Seminoles in January 2024, Tyson has made numerous trips to Tallahassee, with at least five visits in the past year alone. His most recent stop was for a Junior Day earlier this January, and he returned on Wednesday to catch the Seminoles' second spring practice.
What caught Tyson's attention during practice was the pace and physicality. "How fast they practice and how physical they are," he observed, clearly impressed by the intensity on display.
This visit also gave Tyson a chance to see the new running backs coach, Kam Martin, in action. Tyson noted Martin's ability to connect with the players, attributing it to his youth and relatability. "He's very relatable," Tyson remarked, appreciating the dynamic Martin brings to the team.
Another highlight was watching Texas transfer Tre Wisner integrate with his new teammates. Tyson praised Wisner's leadership, noting how he encouraged his teammates and led by example. "He's a great leader," Tyson said, reflecting on Wisner's positive influence.
Looking ahead, Tyson has an official visit to FSU scheduled for June 12th. His recruitment journey is far from over, with upcoming visits to Tennessee and South Carolina, followed by plans to check out Miami, Purdue, and Rutgers in April. Official visits to South Carolina on May 1st, Miami on June 5th, and Rutgers (date TBD) are also on the agenda.
While Tyson hasn't declared a favorite, these visits will be crucial in shaping his decision. Currently ranked as the No. 19 athlete in the 2027 class by 247Sports.com, Tyson's performance on the field speaks volumes. As a junior, he racked up 1,292 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns, leading his team to a 10-3 record and a playoff victory in Georgia's highest classification.
With over 4,000 career rushing yards and 46 touchdowns, averaging 8.4 yards per carry, Tyson's high school career has been nothing short of spectacular. As he navigates his recruitment, fans and coaches alike will be eager to see where this promising athlete lands.
