Biography

Braden Smith played four varsity years for Franklin High School in Franklin, Texas, earning First Team All-District all four seasons, twice earning First Team All-State recognition and named the 2020 Newcomer of the Year. He helped Franklin win the state championship twice (2022, 2021), going 16-0 both seasons.
 
"He was absolutely at the top of Coach Carey’s list as we evaluated high school prospects,” head coach Todd Whitten said. “He committed to us back about Week 10 of the season, he was an early Stephen F. Austin commit. We think he’s an outstanding line prospect.”
 
Smith was a four-sport athlete in high school, also spending four years on the varsity track and field team, two years on the varsity basketball team and two years on the varsity baseball team. He was an honorable mention for Academic All-State, and will pursue a business degree at Tarleton State University.
