There was little on the field that the Frisco Lone Star Rangers’ do-it-all star did not do this season, as Lone Star posted a 9-3 record and advanced to the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season.
In a district full of standouts, Braxton was voted as the 6-5A Division I most valuable player for his contributions in all three phases of the game.
Braxton set the tone in the season opener against Texarkana Texas High, hauling in a 26-yard touchdown pass for the Rangers’ first points of the season.
He would go on to record 41 receptions for 716 yards and six touchdowns, and also threw for a score.
That would be a good season in its own right, but Braxton’s primary responsibility was on the other side of the ball at cornerback.
There, he excelled, recording 55 tackles, with three for loss, 12 pass breakups, five interceptions, one forced fumble and a blocked kick.
If that were not enough, Braxton also provided three punt returns for touchdowns on special teams.
The four-star prospect, who is envisioned as a cornerback in college, entertained offers from all over the country before signing with Arkansas as an early enrollee last month.
