True dual threat Braylon Wilson is hidden 2026 Nevada gem
Playing quarterback can be as simple as zipping the pigskin around the yard, being the guy who can move the chains on the ground when needed, or a leader who can do a little bit of both with the run and the pass. At Reno High School, Braylon Wilson (6-2, 195) excels in all facets of the game displaying a smooth throwing motion, a rocket arm, has the wheels and will truck DBs, and is willing to be that guy putting his team on his back leading them to victory.
The Class of 2026 talent was acknowledged for his play on the field and in the classroom being an All-State Academic selection after throwing for 2,268 yards with 21 touchdowns and rushing for 677 yards with eight more scores in 10 games played after two regular season games were cancelled.
“We run an Air Raid offense,” Wilson stated. “Carson Strong is our offensive coordinator; he previously played at Nevada. He brought a lot of what he ran at Nevada to our offense. He was airing it out there and throwing a lot in each game. At the start of the season we were throwing a lot, over 30 times a game a couple of times. Towards the end of the season, we became more balanced run to pass.”
Wilson continued, “The main routes were over the middle-crossers, dagger routes, posts, a lot of drags, we were big on the crossers because we had a lot of speed at receiver, some outs, and goes; those were our main routes.”
Asked what sets him apart from other quarterbacks in his class, Wilson replied, “I think the biggest thing is the confidence I have in my abilities and my athleticism. I know I can make any play. Will I make all of them, no, but I trust myself that I can make any play. The mindset helps sets me apart.”
In between basketball games and practices, Wilson continues to fine-tune his craft.
“I work with Carson at least once a week and I am working with Cody Fijardo; those are the two main ones I work with,” Wilson shared. “I throw with my receivers during the week. The biggest thing I am cleaning up for next season is my footwork, my reads, and my decision making; I am trying to not do too much. Last year, sometimes, I tried to do it all myself, which can lead to negative plays. I have to keep the explosive and positive plays and limit the negative ones.”
Colorado State, Nevada, Hawaii, Sacramento State, Colorado School of Mines, New Mexico Highland, and Columbia are among the teams recruiting Wilson.
The Rams welcomed Wilson to campus this fall.
“It went well,” Wilson said. “I talked to their coaches, and I saw the program. I camped there last summer, that wasn’t my first time there, but it was great to see everything. I talked to coach Chad Savage, he’s their recruiting coordinator and receivers coach; it was really cool.
“All of Carson’s coaches moved to Colorado State; they run a similar offense to us. It was really cool to watch them run the same concepts. They got a big win over San Jose State. It was cool to see them doing something similar to my team and being successful.”
The Wolf Pack got the backyard talent in for a game as well.
“It was cool to get a closer look at Nevada,” Wilson stated. “Growing up, I have gone to a lot of Nevada games; on the visit I got to see the culture, their facilities, and I was learning about the coaching staff. It has been a struggle there for about 10 years, they are trying to change that; it was cool to see.”
Fans and college scouts will get to see more of Wilson’s live arm and talents this offseason on the 7-on-7 circuit with TMP (Sacramento, CA).
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The Wolf Pack are headed on a road trip! A whole group of Nevada coaches, student athletes and staff are hitting the road across Northern Nevada to spread the brand of Wolf Pack athletics.
The trip will span over three days and over a thousand miles across the region, giving them the chance to connect with fans, alumni, and all the communities across Northern Nevada.
“It’s a really fun opportunity to get out in a lot of communities in Northern Nevada that often times come to Reno to support the Wolf Pack,” said head football coach Jeff Choate. “It’s an opportunity for us to get our brand out locally and just interact with some great people.”
The Coaches Caravan kicked off their journey Monday morning in Carson City, gathering at the Nevada State Capitol, greeted by a group of Wolf Pack faithful who were beyond excited to have the opportunity for interaction.
“So much about what college athletics is are bringing communities together. There’s nothing that brings a community together like sports,” said athletic director Stephanie Rempe. “It lets them get to know our coaches and athletes and the things that they’re trying to do to represent the university and the state of Nevada. Getting to know them and meet them makes you care that much more and makes them want to come support and cheer on the Pack!”
The Coaches Caravan continues through Northern Nevada until their final stop on Wednesday afternoon, meeting with thirteen communities around the region in total.

The Las Vegas Raiders have orchestrated many groundbreaking moves this offseason, but none as important as the impact they made at a fundraising event.
Over the weekend, the Raiders hosted the Silver & Black Gala, raising $2.5 million for mental health in Nevada. Sunday marked the third time the organization had hosted the event, which has produced a tremendous turnout.
Several individuals spoke during the event, including Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis and president Sandra Douglass Morgan, who each highlighted the importance of acknowledging mental health.
Davis’ Thoughts
- “We’re here to raise money for mental health, which is one of the most important things we can all deal with,” Davis said. “Every one of us is impacted by mental health and our families, friends, or anywhere else, we are all directly affected. That’s why it’s so critical to raise money for our community. We’re grateful for you all, and appreciate you being here.”
Morgan’s Thoughts
“Mental health remains one of the most urgent issues across Nevada,” Morgan said. “Through the Silver & Black Gala, the Raiders Foundation is helping expand access to trusted, community-based resources that meet people where they are. This year’s recipients reflect the depth and complexity of that work, supporting our community in schools, clubhouses, homes, shelters, and family systems statewide.”
The Raiders also honored former player Carl Nassib and NFL broadcaster Jay Glazer on Sunday night as the winners of the Commitment to Excellence award. Here is what each of them had to say.
Glazer’s Thoughts
- “First, this is incredible what the Raiders are doing,” Glazer said. “God blessed me with the ability to communicate, so I’m going to use that to try and help other people. When we’re willing to share our scars, we turn them into strength—into something that connects us as teammates with nothing to hide. That’s what builds a true team, a championship team. I’m proud to stand with you and be part of this team tonight.”
Nassib’s Thoughts
- “It is truly a privilege to be up here,” Nassib said. “We’re creating space for people to be vulnerable—and that work is truly lifesaving. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about showing up and reminding people they’re not alone.”
Overall Thoughts
This has been a tremendous event over the last few years, and the Raiders’ organization has done a great job of raising awareness for mental health. This will be an event that the team will continue to host in the future.
