He was not able to sustain his momentum from 2022 to 2023 in part because of an ankle injury he sustained right in the very first game of the Golden Hurricane versus the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions.
Before committing to play for Tulsa football in 2020, Braxton fielded offers from the likes of the Miami (Ohio) Redhawks, Marshall Thundering Herd, Memphis Tigers, Arizona State Sun Devils, Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, and Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.
Tusla took a step back in 2023, winning just four games with eight losses in Kevin Wilson's first year as head coach of the program. The year before, the Golden Hurricane went 5-7 in the final season with Philip Montgomery at the helm.
