Brady Russell (born August 31, 1998) is an American professional football fullback for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Colorado Buffaloes and was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2023. Early life Russell was born on August 31, 1998, at Camp Pendleton in California. Several of his family members were also involved in athletics: his father, Randy, and uncle, Marc Booth, both played football for the Arkansas Razorbacks; his uncle, Matt, played for the Colorado Buffaloes and is an executive with the Philadelphia Eagles; his brother, Cody, played for the Northern Colorado Bears and another brother, Tyler, ran track at Navy. Russell attended Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins, Colorado, initially being a track athlete before switching to football and playing defensive end as well as some tight end. He was the team's most valuable player as both a junior and senior, twice earning first-team All-Front Range League honors on defense, as well as one second-team selection on offense. He was a two-star recruit and opted to walk-on at Football Bowl Subdivision Colorado rather than accept a scholarship offer from Football Championship Subdivision Northern Colorado.
