2006 ALL-SLC 2ND TEAM
A physical and agile tight end with big play capability, Broyles is an all-star candidate. He has shown very good hands, the ability to make catches in crowds and is considered a very strong run blocker. A tough, smart player, he assumed the starting role last year after Kedrin Seastrunk's knee surgery and blossomed into an all-conference performer. In the off-season, he works as a waiter in an upscale downtown restaurant.
