Brady Russell

Early life
Russell was born on August 31, 1998, at Camp Pendleton in California. Several of his family members were also involved in athletics: his father, Randy, and uncle, Marc Booth, both played football for the Arkansas Razorbacks; his uncle, Matt, played for the Colorado Buffaloes and is an executive with the Philadelphia Eagles; his brother, Cody, played for the Northern Colorado Bears and another brother, Tyler, ran track at Navy.

Russell attended Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins, Colorado, initially being a track athlete before switching to football and playing defensive end as well as some tight end. He was the team's most valuable player as both a junior and senior, twice earning first-team All-Front Range League honors on defense, as well as one second-team selection on offense. He was a two-star recruit and opted to walk-on at Football Bowl Subdivision Colorado rather than accept a scholarship offer from Football Championship Subdivision Northern Colorado.
