Noah Braham, Son of a Mountaineers Hall of Famer | WVU Football All 105

All 105 is a West Virginia Sports Now series profiling each member of the 2025 WVU Football Roster.

The son of a WVU Football Hall of Famer, Noah Braham is a redshirt sophomore tight end who grew up in Morgantown and began to work his way on the field last season.

His father, Rich Braham, played for the Mountaineers from 1990 to 1993, earning a third round selection in the NFL Draft. He then went on to start 142 games over the course of a 13 year career with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Noah Braham, for his part, earned a three-star rating as a recruit despite dealing with an ankle injury that nearly derailed his junior and senior seasons at Morgantown’s University High. After taking a redshirt year in 2023, Braham appeared in two games for the Mountaineers last season, serving as a depth piece at tight end. At 6-foot-3 and 243 pounds, he possesses the stocky frame needed to help open holes in the running game. Braham also has athletic upside, serving on punt returns and several defensive positions in high school.
