Former Florida State defensive lineman Braden Fiske has won the practice player-of-the-week award at the Reese’s Senior Bowl, gaining the respect of his peers in the process. The award was voted on by his offensive line teammates on the American team of the event.

During his first and only year in Tallahassee, Fiske recorded 43 tackles, six sacks, and nine tackles for loss.

His most impressive game on the stat sheet was the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte. The Western Michigan transfer had nine total tackles, three sacks, and four and a half tackles for loss. The Seminoles won 16-6. Fiske and Co. deserved a lot of the credit for the win as the offense sputtered with third-string quarterback Brock Glenn making his first start.

Head coach Mike Norvell congratulated the former FSU DT for winning the Senior Bowl award, going as far as to call him a “real one.”

“Just getting started! #NoleFamily #KeepCLIMBing #RealOne,” stated Norvell.

ESPN’s Louis Riddick called Fiske one of his favorites to watch at the Senior Bowl. He was the only defensive tackle featured on the list.

Fiske was also awarded with a third-team All-American honor at the defensive tackle position in 2023.

According to a mock draft from Pro Football Focus, Fiske is projected to the Cleveland Browns in the 2024 NFL Draft with the 86th pick.
