The true freshman from Georgia played in four regular season games to preserve his redshirt season. He played one game on defense with the rest of his snaps coming on special teams. His most extended action came in the Texas Bowl loss to Houston where he played 18 snaps.
Braker was a consensus four-star recruit and the No. 118 prospect in the nation according to the On3 Composite.
