Bradley

With the two scoring grabs, Bradley finishes with exactly 10 touchdown catches for the second consecutive season. Both touchdowns tonight came in the third quarter, pushing Louisiana to a 24-10 lead they’d never relinquish. As for Bradley, he finishes with a 60-908-10 receiving line in 2019. Bradley (6'1/195) has officially exhausted his collegiate eligibility. He’ll next ship off to the Shrine Bowl in hopes of drawing a Day 3 call in April.

Bradley’s (6'1/195) touchdown was a 47-yard connection with Levi Lewis that put the Ragin’ Cajuns in front 14-7 in the second quarter. The senior wideout helps the Ragin’ Cajuns win their 10th game for the first time in school history, and it’s also the first time Louisiana has won seven conference games. They’ll go for an 11th win next Saturday, but it won’t be easy in the Sun Belt Championship Game against Appalachian State.

Bradley (6'1/195) picked up the first score of the game for either team when he connected from 12-yards out with 11:49 left in the first quarter. The recent Shrine Bowl invite now has six scores on the season, and he goes over the 600-yard mark. Bradley will assuredly add to those totals on Saturday when the Ragin’ Cajuns look for a win against Louisiana-Monroe.

The Shrine Bowl is the next-best thing after the Senior Bowl. Other NFL wideouts such as Tajae Sharpe of the Tennessee Titans have attended the all-star game in the past. Bradley (6'1/195) has been one of the best WRs in the Group of Five this year, totaling 36 receptions for 510 yards and five scores to this point in the season. Look out for more Shrine Bowl announcements over the next couple weeks.

Bradley (6'1/195) was able to pick up his fifth touchdown of the year on a 10-yard strike from Levi Lewis with 3:55 left in the third quarter. It’s a far cry from the ten touchdowns Bradley scored last year, but the Ragin Cajuns aren’t throwing nearly as much; and it’s tough to blame them considering the success they’ve had. Bradley will look to find the end zone again next Saturday against South Alabama.

Bradley (6'1/195) did not play in the Ragin’ Cajuns’ 31-3 win over Texas State on Saturday due to the ankle issue, which has lingered for a couple weeks. The redshirt senior wide receiver has been Louisiana’s best pass catcher this season, as he has caught 29 passes for 439 yards and four touchdowns. In his most recent outing Bradley posted a receiving stat line of 6-72-0 in a win over Arkansas State back on October 17.

Bradley (6'1/195) is central to Louisiana’s passing game. He is one of two players on the team with more than one touchdown catch, as well as one of only two players with over 10 receptions. On a receiving corps filled with role players and complementary pieces, Bradley is the only do-it-all threat who is a problem in any section of the field. Surely coach Napier is pleased that Bradley will be good to go for Thursday night.

Saturday’s win over the Bobcats was mostly about being dominant on the ground, but Bradley (6'1/195) was able to get his, and has now scored three touchdowns on the season. The touchdown came in borderline garbage time, but it put any chance of Ohio coming back to bed after he scored a three-yard TD on a pass from Levi Lewis. Bradley is easily the top target in the Ragin’ Cajuns offense, and that won’t change next Saturday against Georgia Southern.

These are often small sample size stats, but Bradley did show out on deep targets last season, evidenced by his 15.2 yards per reception. The Ragin’ Cajuns are a run to set up the pass offense and Bradley is the primary threat to win downfield. Last year, Bradley set a new career-high in yards with 608. He’ll need to outproduce that in 2019 to have any shot at receiving a draftable grade. As of now, he’s a UDFA prospect.

Bradley (6'1/195) was very efficient in the Ragin’ Cajun run-first offense, and he’ll continue to be one of the most explosive receivers in the conference. Last year, Bradley averaged 15.2 yards on his 40 receptions while finding the end zone 10 times. The touchdowns may end up regressing, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see Bradley catch a few more passes in 2019.
