COLLEGE REPORT: Sampson records first career collegiate sack
During his four-year high school football career at Northview, Braxton Sampson was the leader of the defense in the middle of the field at his linebacker position.

Sampson recorded his first-career collegiate sack, bringing down HCU quarterback CJ Rogers for a 16-yard loss on 3rd down in the fourth quarter, giving the Sycamore offense the ball back with an opportunity to tie or take the lead.
