It’s not uncommon for high school football players to play multiple sports.

And Joshua Braun, an offensive lineman who reportedly committed to the Florida Gators on Friday, is no different.

His second sport? Tennis.

A consensus four-star recruit from Live Oak Suwannee High, located northwest of Gainesville, Braun is 6-foot-6 and 335 pounds, but is quite agile as seen in his high school tennis game.

Check out how nimble he his with this 21-second video clip:

Braun’s commitment comes days after he backed off his pledge to the Georgia Bulldogs. Braun is listed as the No. 22 offensive tackle in the 2020 recruiting class.

With Braun’s commitment, the Gators now have three offensive tackle pledges for the 2020 class. Miami Norland’s Issiah Walker Jr., a consensus four-star-rated the 12th-best offensive tackle in the country, and Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons’ Gerald Mincey, a consensus three-star athlete, are the other Gator commits at offensive tackle.
