Bio
Major: Health Promotion
Minor: Coaching
Jayden Bratcher is majoring in Health Promotion with a minor in Coaching, and he says his favorite thing about Union is the strong family environment that makes campus feel like home.
Outside of football, Jayden enjoys playing basketball and gaming. His dream is to one day become a Division I head football coach, inspired by the leadership and passion he brings to the game. In high school, his favorite subject was English, and his football icons are Russell Wilson and Rob Gronkowski, both known for their determination and high-level play.
He’s a fan of Gatorade, Sweet Tart Ropes on road trips, and loves a plate of nachos for his favorite meal. His go-to social media platform is Instagram, and at home he has a dog named Draco.
Jayden sees himself as a teammate who always wants to see others succeed, and he hopes to be remembered for working hard and spreading positivity throughout his time at Union.
He credits Coach Boston, Coach Kibb, and Mr. Gibson as having a meaningful impact on his experience. His second-best sport is basketball.
