Brayden is the son of Aimee Ore Rollyson and the late Jake Rollyson of Clendenin. He is carrying on the family tradition at Glenville State College. His dad, Jason “Jake”, played lineman at Concord and then transferred to Glenville and played from 1995-1997. While he was there, Glenville recruited Jake’s brother, Justin, and he played safety at Glenville from 1995 -1997. Their mother, Janet Rollyson, said, “They both actually played on the same team. That was when Coach Rodriguez was there and Glenville won several WVIAC Conference Championships.”

Both Jake and Justin played at Herbert Hoover High School (HHHS). Justin’s (Jessica Nickoson, mother) son, Colten, graduated from HHHS in 2017 and played spring ball at Glenville. Colten is back at Glenville this year and is going to try out for the team this fall. Janet said, “It would be exciting to watch my two grandsons play for Glenville on the same team just like I watched their dads.”
