Stefan Branham

Running Back / Return Specialist

Grit City Knights

The Knights season as a team wasn't what they had hoped for in 2023, however the performance of Stefan "Juice" Branham left an image on opponents that won't be forgotten as he continued to show what a seasoned veteran can accomplish in this game.

In just seven regular season games with Grit City, Branham exploded for 962 all-purpose yards including 733 on the ground and seven touchdowns.  In the passing game, he averaged 15.1 yards per catch, and had a 20.5 yard per return average on kickofs.  In the playoff loss to the Buzzards, Branham carried 11 times for 50 yards on the ground, caught 2 passes for 9 yards and returned a kick off 42 yards to top the 1,000 all-purpose yardage mark for the season.

An All-GDFL performer in 2022 with the Tacoma Sabers, the Mississippi native has also been with the South Sound Seminoles, Northwest Hurricanes and King County Predators since relocating to Washington in 2018.  While in Colorado from 2012-2017 Braham accounted for over 8,500 all-purpose yards, 85 touchdowns and was selected to 5 Colorado All-Star teams, 2 league MVPs and the 2012 Rookie of the Year.
