Bio

2024 NFL Draft: Bralen Trice Draft Profile and Scouting Report

Bralen Trice first saw playing time in 2021, despite not playing the previous two seasons. He had a breakout season in 2022, finishing with nine total sacks, which was good for third-most in the Pac-12. Selected as the Defensive MVP of the Valero Alamo Bowl versus Texas, as well as the 2022 Defensive MVP for the University of Washington.

Bralen Trice 40 Time

Official 40 Time: 4.72 seconds

Trice is much quicker on game film than his projected 40 time of 4.79 seconds. He has very good burst and explosiveness to close and finish on the QB in the pocket. He displays a good ability to diagnose and attack the read-option quickly and efficiently. Further, he has a solid tackle range at the point of attack. Possesses violent use of hands to stun and evade the offensive tackle off the edge. Displays good range and acceleration to attack receivers in the flats from the hashes. With that being said, I would like to see more efficient use of spins and other elusive moves to beat offensive linemen more consistently. Shows an adequate ability to read the quarterback’s eyes and break towards the ball when in coverage. Finally, he has an adequate ability to mirror and remain in close quarters coverage at the second-level.
