Brady Russell, Fullback
The Seattle Seahawks proudly nominate fullback Brady Russell as the team's 2025 Salute to Service Award nominee.
Brady has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to honoring, empowering, and connecting with the military community. Since joining the Seahawks, he has actively participated in more than 13 military-focused events and engagements, positively impacting over 500 service members and their families.
Brady's connection to the military is both personal and enduring. Born on Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, where his father Randy was stationed, Brady was raised within a military environment. His brother, Captain Tyler "Friction" Russell, is a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and currently serves as a Marine Corps Osprey pilot.
This season, Brady is working to coordinate a visit from Captain Russell and his unit to a Seahawks practice and a potential flyover during the team's Salute to Service game on November 9, pending final approvals. Brady has also welcomed service members from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, further strengthening the team's ties to the local military community.
