Scouts like Bradford’s ability to naturally throw the football, as well as his intelligence in reading defense at the high school level. Although he is not considered a duel threat quarterback, he is mobile enough to avoid sacks and has the speed to evade pass-rushers and make plays with his feet.
Bradford will be joined at the Lasch Bash by Class of 2025 quarterback Malik Washington out of Archbishop Wood High School in Severn, Maryland.
