He arrived in Alabama’s 2020 signing class as a highlight reel for interceptions, but Brian Branch unveiled a more consistent aspect of his game last season.
Branch was a tackling machine in his sophomore campaign. No one broke free from him on plays as the native Georgian recorded 55 tackles, including five for loss and a sack.
He collected a team-high nine pass breakups, a quarterback hurry, and a fumble recovery, but Branch highlighted his tackling prowess to reporters during the Crimson Tide’s spring practice. The 6-foot, 193-pounder is preparing for a marquee junior year, but Pro Football Focus had an interesting graphic for Branch.
