17-year-old Brandham says he threw for nearly 4500 total yards and 40 touchdowns over his three-year career as a Mohawk. He led the crew to two ASAA South Zone Championships and played into the championship match of provincials in 2017.

He also earned the Mohawks Offensive Player of the Year award following his senior campaign, leading the team to a fifth consecutive Rangeland Football Conference championship.

Mitch Bach of CHAT Sports spoke to Brandham to learn the reasons behind committing to St. Mary’s University, his decision to ‘red-shirt’ for his rookie campaign, those who influenced his football career, and what he hopes to accomplish in the coming years as a Huskie.
