One of Tippah County’s most dominant linemen is headed to the next level.
Walnut High School standout Braydin Spight has officially signed to continue his football career at Itawamba Community College, capping off a decorated career with the Walnut Wildcats.
At 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds, Spight has been a force in the trenches for four seasons. A four-year starter, he earned recognition year after year as one of the top linemen in the area and across the region.
Spight was a three-time Tippah County Sports / TippahSports.com All-County Offensive Lineman, solidifying his reputation as one of the most consistent and physical blockers in the county.
His honors extend well beyond local recognition.
