Currently a senior at the University of Oklahoma and majoring in communications, Brayden grew up around golf. Watching Tiger dominate nearly every Sunday as a kid, he tries to bring the same mentality to the classroom as well as his writing. Although young, Brayden is not a novice when it comes to sports journalism. He was the sports editor at Rose State College for two years before moving on to OU. Brayden was awarded the 2019 Ron Balicki Scholarship for his work in golf/sports journalism. He has worked for the Golf Coaches Association of America, the OKC Dodgers, and currently holds a position with USA TODAY's Sooners Wire where he covers Oklahoma athletics. In his free time, Brayden enjoys getting a quick nine in whenever possible or heading out on the red dirt backroads of Oklahoma to chase tornados.
