EDITOR’S NOTE: Since 2002, the Times Free Press has highlighted the top 12 college football prospects among Chattanooga-area seniors with its preseason Dynamite Dozen. The countdown of this year’s list continues with No. 8.

RINGGOLD, Ga. — Brayden Stoker is set to make spectacular plays all over the field this fall.

The 6-foot-2, 196-pounder for Heritage High School has proven himself throughout his prep career, and now he’s rated as a three-star recruit and ranked by 247Sports as the No. 11 wide receiver and 143rd prospect overall in Georgia for the class of 2027.

Those around Stoker believe he is set for his biggest season yet to add on to an impressive track record that includes 23 touchdowns and more than 2,500 all-purpose yards in three seasons.

“Brayden is a very talented kid who works his tail off,” Heritage head coach Jeremy New said. “We have very high expectations for him, but he has even higher expectations for himself. I definitely believe that he will achieve some impressive statistics this year that will be difficult for anyone to surpass for a long time.
