Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady was seen bragging about his family on social media, and it wasn’t one of his own kids this time. 

Instead, it was his niece, Maya Brady, the 22-year-old UCLA softball shortstop who belted two homers during the No. 14 Bruins’ victory over No. 8 Washington on Sunday. 

Maya’s longshots were the 61st and 62nd of her Bruins career, as she now ranks third all-time in home runs in program history.

"Sorry peeps it just runs in the family," he captioned the post, which showed Maya’s accomplishment. "LFG!!!"

This isn’t the first time Brady has praised his niece over the years. In 2021, a UCLA Softball post showing Maya hitting a homer led to an X post from her uncle.
