Michael Bradley Jr. is a 6′ 145 lb, 2-way athlete out of Delhi, LA. His versatility and the ability to impact the game in a variety of ways make him stand out. On offense, he’s a big play waiting to happen when he has the ball in his hands. These ball skills translate on the defensive end as well. He had 4 interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, and 11 PBUs last season. Let’s keep in mind this is in a shortened middle school season. He stands at an impressive 6 ft already, and he still hasn’t finished 8th grade. Expect his frame to continue to fill out and his skills to continue to improve as he enters high school, with 4 more years to develop before he is ready for college football. This is one I would start buying stock in early, because it’s only a matter of time before others take notice.
