Add Champ Bailey to the list of former NFL greats with sons who double as talented high school football prospects. The first-ballot Hall of Famer who played for the Washington Commanders and later Denver Broncos apparently has some good genes running in the family. Bailey’s son, Brayden Bailey , is a fast-rising prospect in the 2028 class out of Holy Innocents Episcopal School in the Atlanta area.
Like his dad, Brayden is a two-way player who stars at receiver and cornerback. And colleges are beginning to take notice. Earlier this spring, Florida Atlantic gave Bailey his first Division I offer.
Georgia Tech followed suit. And on Wednesday, Bailey got his first SEC offer from South Carolina while visiting for the team’s spring practice. Defensive backs coach Torrian Gray and assistant Dre Bly — himself a longtime NFL player and teammate of Champ’s with the Denver Broncos — were the ones to deliver it to him.
After a great conversation with @togray14 and @drebly_32 I’m blessed to receive an offer from the University of South Carolina #gamecocks @KwameAgyeiMinta @CoachClaytonW @HIESFootball @champbailey @DbCoachJulian @ChadSimmons_ @TomLoy247 @TheBigSpur247 pic. twitter. com/p0w8vN1kKW — Brayden Bailey (@Bray_Bailey24) March 18, 2026 The younger Bailey finished up his sophomore year this past fall, seeing significant varsity action for the second year in a row.
