After one season at Missouri, Brazile spent the next four seasons playing at Arkansas. His role would change over time.

During the 2025-2026 NCAA season, which serves as his last, Brazile appeared in 19 games. He averaged 28.1 minutes on the floor. During that time, Brazile shot 54.5% from the field and hit 40.4% of his threes.

The forward produced a career-high 12.6 points per game, along with 6.8 rebounds per game. He also stood out defensively, producing 1.7 steals per game and 1.2 blocks per game.

He left the NCAA with 113 games under his belt. The Nuggets selected Brazile with the 35th overall pick in the 2026 draft.
