Look at that offer list. Jesus.
Look at that highlight tape. Jesus.
(For the record, this is a junior year highlight tape. I was not aware until just now that the state of Maryland moved its high school football season to the spring, hence why I couldn’t find a senior year highlight tape.)
Maybe it’s because, as the writer for a Vanderbilt site, I am so accustomed to seeing two- and three-star defensive line prospects that I’m simply blown away by seeing a defensive tackle who goes 6’3” and 270 and moves like this. Either way, though, I have seen enough here. Marcus Bradley, the highest-rated recruit in Vanderbilt’s 2021 class, is probably going to be a starting defensive tackle for Vanderbilt next season. Book it.
