Typically lining up at defensive end for football powerhouse Mater Dei, Breland displays rare pass-rushing ability for someone his size. As a result, the uncommitted, two-sport athlete (who also participates in track and field) has picked up offers from the likes of Georgia, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon, USC and others. Breland’s $174,000 NIL valuation and 4,200 total followers on social media will certainly rise once he commits to one of college football’s top programs.
