Colleges Show Interest in Lake Braddock Secondary Football Players

A handful of Lake Braddock Secondary School (LBSS) football players are gaining the attention of college football recruiters at local and state universities.

Among those students is 15-year-old LBSS rising junior and wide receiver Aramis “A.J.” Alexander. Alexander was offered a scholarship last week from the University of Virginia and has gained interest from Penn State and North Carolina, the Washington Post reports.

“He has hands the size of catcher’s mitts. When a college coach walks in the room, he passes the eye test. Right away it’s, ‘Who’s that guy?’ He could be a linebacker. He could be a safety. There are a lot of things he can do,” LBSS Coach Jim Poythress told the Post. 

Additionally, rising LBSS seniors Reece Burnett, a lineman, tight end Ryan Antonellis and linebacker Dwight Lomax are receiving interest from colleges from Football Championship Subdivision schools.
