Bradford’s list of schools is down to three: Texas, LSU, and Ohio State. He set a visit at each school in June and is expected to make a decision before July. On3 has Bradford committing to LSU as a high probability at 93.9%. However, that hasn’t stopped the Longhorns from trying to land a potential future star.

Luckily, the Longhorns will be the first stop on Bradford’s tour. They will be hoping to convince him that Austin is the best place for his college career. Like many in the college football world, 247Sports sees Bradford as a unique talent who can be a multi-year starter. 

“Entering junior year, looks like a forward-oriented safety or linebacker who can play in space, while hitting above his weight as a striker,” Gabe Brooks wrote. “Projects to the high-major level as a potential multi-year starter with a promising future.”While the Longhorns face an uphill battle, landing Bradford would make their defense hard to beat. Their 2026 class is ranked as one of the top ten in the country. With Bradford, they could be in the top five with plenty of talent left on the board.
