Round Rock (Texas) Stony Point four-star wide receiver Braylon James is one of the top wideouts in the 2023 cycle. The Notre Dame commit is the No. 108 overall prospect and No. 17 wide receiver in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

James has also recorded a touchdown in the first quarter. He is currently one of three wide receivers in Notre Dame’s 2023 recruiting class.
James has an On3 NIL Valuation of $138K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Braylon James:
“Combine standout who registers as one of the better athletes among wide receivers in the 2023 cycle.

Ran an electronically-timed 4.47 40-yard dash and has turned in impressive agility times. Shows his speed as a deep threat on the field. Capable of running past defensive backs on vertical routes. Has the bounce to out-jump defensive backs in contested catch situations.

Can also stand to increase his production and efficiency relative to other highly-touted wide receivers.”
