The Skinny

Bradham is already enrolled in classes at Florida St.

The Analysis

The ability for a middle linebacker to take two steps and generate enough power to stand up a fullback in the hole is rare at the high school level. Bradham has that short-space burst. He uses nice leverage and a big, bulky frame to generate force at the point of attack, and he does it quickly.


Bradham is a perfect fit for middle linebacker. He is best when playing downhill into the line of scrimmage. He has decent pass-drop skills but can be a bit stiff in space. He will need to work on his pass recognition skills as he can, at times, find himself lost on play-action fakes.


Hand technique will need to be improved as he can struggle flowing through traffic. Learning to get in, over and around debris will be a necessary skill he will have to acquire if he expects to play all-conference-caliber football.
