A four-year member of the Arcadia men's volleyball team, Braas was a member of the inaugural team and helped set a standard of success that carries through to the present day.

In his first season, Braas was named Arcadia's Male Rookie of the Year, All-ECAC, and the ECAC Division III South Rookie of the Year. As a sophomore in  2018, Braas earned First Team All-MAC honors. In 2019, Braas exploded on to the national stage, earning First Team All-American honors from AVCA, while also earning First Team All-MAC honors. Cementing his place in Division III, Braas finished the season as the NCAA Individual Champion in hitting percentage at .474, leading the Knights to their first MAC Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. In 2020 during the covid-shortened season, Braas again was named a First Team All-American, All-East Region, and was again the NCAA Individual Champion in hitting percentage. Braas was named Arcadia's Male Athlete of the year in 2018-19, and the Senior Athlete of the Year in 2019-20.

For his career, Braas stands first in hitting percentage, and blocks, third in kills, and ninth in service aces. In the season records, Braas is first, third, and fourth in blocks, second, third, and fifth in hitting percentage, and third in kills.  

Braas graduated in 2020 with a degree in Criminal Justice, and earned his Master’s of Legal Studies from Washington University in St. Louis in 2021.
