Offensively, Boone used his imposing frame to open up running lanes for Hall of Fame member and Bulldog all-time leading rusher Gary Davis. Defensively, he put together a consistent and impressive body of work, including 203 career stops—which places him on the list of the Top-20 tacklers of all-time.

Besides football, Boone enjoyed a stellar career on the baseball diamond for coaches Donald Sherrell and Tracy Strong. He played first and third bases and spent time at catcher. He was also a member of the basketball team his freshman and senior years.

Boone received All-Region honors during his football career. He was also the recipient of the Carmon C. Brown Award (formerly Celina High School’s most prestigious male athlete award).

Nominator comment:

“A little known fact about Brandon is that, in the spring of 1995, he was invited on a recruiting visit to the University of Tennessee. His lead recruiter on the visit was former UT offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe.”
