Draft Profile: Bio
Dylan Braithwaite from Holy Trinity Diocesan High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports.

Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has smooth acceleration and deceiving speed. Balanced and very fast with the ball in his hands.
- Shows quickness off the snap to shake off corners and create room. Separates with hesitation moves and nice acceleration.
- Plays fast and confident. Covers a lot of ground in the short half of the field and is slippery after the catch.
- Braithwaite gets off the line with a nice burst and is very fluid in his movements with little wasted steps in his routes.
- He’s a fluid athlete with excellent short-area quickness; Braithwaite should be able to create separation, and he has the straight-line speed to threaten down the seam.
- An impressive athlete with very quick acceleration to reach his top speed quickly and stretch the field. Very good body control and smooth movements. Plays fast and explosive.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Will have limitations against physical cornerbacks because of his thin frame. If locked up at the line, Braithwaite lacks the upper-body strength to fight off the press with his hands.
- He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage.
- Braithwaite really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
