#26 Braden Holcomb Season 2024-25

Braden Holcomb Pronunciation

Head coach Tim Corbin on Holcomb: “Braden has been a significant part of our team since the moment he arrived on campus, and I am very proud of how he has grown within our program. His maturity shows up daily through his routines, consistency, and continued development in the classroom. Braden possesses a rare combination of size, speed, and athletic ability. In my years of coaching, I have not coached a player with his physical profile who can play nearly every position on the field—and play them well. He can take over a game and consistently rise in the biggest moments. Braden leads through his work ethic, his on-field abilities, and his genuine care for team success. He values team achievement, reflected in two consecutive summers at Bourne, where he helped win a Cape Cod League championship.”
