Prairie View A&M University Athletics

Brylee King, a sophomore from Austin, Texas, is currently pursuing a Kinesiology degree at Prairie View A&M University. She graduated from Hutto High School and became inspired to enter the field of athletic training after experiencing an injury in middle school. This injury motivated her to help others with their recovery and learn more about the human body's injuries. Additionally, as a sports enthusiast, Brylee wanted to stay connected to sports while gaining knowledge about the physical health of athletes.

Brylee's favorite movie is The Wiz, and she admires the legendary entertainer Michael Jackson. She enjoys eating spaghetti and finds Christmas to be her favorite holiday because of the time spent with family. Brylee has a strong passion for athletic training and spends her free time further developing her skills in the field. She finds working with the track team particularly interesting and values taping skills, CPR and first aid training, and critical thinking as essential skills for an athletic trainer aide.

One of Brylee's most memorable moments in the program was being accepted into the sports medicine program and being assigned to the track team in her first year. In the next five years, Brylee hopes to earn both her bachelor's and master's degrees in athletic training and secure her first professional job as an NFL athletic trainer or with another sports team. Her dream job is to become an athletic trainer for the NFL or any sports team. Brylee chose Prairie View A&M because her college visit made her feel at home, and she was drawn to the strong family atmosphere at the university.
