Henry To’oto’o recently had high praise for an Alabama teammate.

Speaking with the media ahead of the Sugar Bowl matchup against Kansas State, To’oto’o referred to Branch as the “unsung hero” of the Tide defense.

“I don’t think he gets the recognition he deserves,” said To’oto’o. “He is so sneaky athletic, and he makes a lot of plays.”

Branch has had an incredible season for the Tide, finishing the regular season with 78 tackles, 2 sacks, and 7 passes defended. Branch’s 78 tackles are the 3rd-most on the Tide, behind only To’oto’o and DeMarcco Hellams.

The Tide are set to battle with the Kansas State Wildcats in the Sugar Bowl on Saturday, December 31st at noon ET.
