Louisville, NC State and South Carolina are also in the running. Bradford is the No. 9 prospect in Florida, the No. 9 quarterback in the country and the No. 115 overall player in the class of 2024, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
Bradford (6-feet, 185 pounds) 185-pounds is originally from Orangeburg, South Carolina, and played his first two years of prep football at Chaplin High School, where, in 2021, he completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,028 yards and 22 touchdowns, also running for 367 yards and three scores.
Bradford made an unofficial visit to Penn State this past July, attending the annual Lasch Bash. Penn State offered Bradford the previous July, the same weekend he performed at a camp.
In his junior season, Bradford completed 57 of 71 passes for 919 yards and 16 touchdowns and rushed for 75 yards and two scores.
All three major recruiting sites have Bradford landing in different schools. On3.com’s prediction machine has him going to South Carolina, Rivals FutureCast has him going to Louisville and 247Sports lone crystal ball projection has him coming to Penn State.
There has yet to be a timeline on when he will make his commitment. As of now, Penn State’s future looks bright at quarterback. 2022 five-star Drew Allar will likely take the reigns as the starter next season, and three-star Jaxon Smolik is committed to the 2023 class. Penn State also has Beau Pribula, a former three-star from the Class of 2022.
