The first Bruins athlete to sign a letter of intent this school year, Brandon celebrated the event in the Padua Gym with coaches, teachers, teammates, friends, and family.

Brandon will major in biology on a pre-med track at Ohio Dominican.
Recently, she concluded a highly decorated soccer career with the Bruins. Brandon earned All-District honors three times (First Team in 2025, Second Team in 2023 and Honorable Mention in 2022), and was a four-time All-Conference selection. Brandon earned First-Team All-Conference during her sophomore, junior and senior years and Second-Team status as a freshman.
