Bradford County Back At It In ’25

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When (Starke) Bradford County and head coach <strong>Coach Jamie Rodgers </strong>roared out to a 6-0 start to begin 2024, there was a feeling that the momentum they had from the previous year would carry over.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After losing to Cocoa to end 2023, the Tornadoes had a great feeling that this past year would see a return to the state title game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When you win nine games, there is a better than average chance that getting to the state title game would be in the cards, but sitting just one hour from the school was Newberry.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It would be that early season meeting with Newberry that would set the tone for the season. A 21-7 loss was thought to be an upset at the time, but that setback only gave Newberry the confidence that would set up a second meeting – in the state playoffs, ending the dream of getting back to finish off what they started the year before.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the off-season began, this is a team that has certainly added the pieces – especially on the offensive line – that will make this program one to watch again this coming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If they are going to get back to the state title game, the rising senior (2026) class will be the place to look. Talent, size and experience gives them a huge advantage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at some of those 2026 prospects:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>CLASS OF 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jonathon Andrews, RB/DE, 5-10, 225.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2RB9FN">http://www.hudl.com/v/2RB9FN</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ridge Bradley, OL, 5-11, 260 – 3.64 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17854348/Ridge-Bradley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hudl.com/profile/17854348/Ridge-Bradley</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kingston Brooker, LB, 6-2, 175.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2RT18T">http://www.hudl.com/v/2RT18T</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kyren Green, OL, 6-3, 325 – 3.06 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/19310865/66e99cd4f749876677a32feb">http://www.hudl.com/video/3/19310865/66e99cd4f749876677a32feb</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jy'quez Cason, Athlete/DB, 5-11, 180.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2Qpf2j">http://www.hudl.com/v/2Qpf2j</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jackson Faul, OL, 6-7, 285.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19364400/jackson-faul" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hudl.com/profile/19364400/jackson-faul</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Justin Hall, LB, 6-0, 180 – 3.25 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18132081/Justin-Hall" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hudl.com/profile/18132081/Justin-Hall</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Elijah Lawrence, WR/DB, 5-9, 165 – 3.29 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/18121092/673404d6c919fbbfde4d2c2b">http://www.hudl.com/video/3/18121092/673404d6c919fbbfde4d2c2b</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jerome Lennon, OL, 6-3, 320.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19174415/Jerome-Lennon">https://www.hudl.com/profile/19174415/Jerome-Lennon</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jackson Parmeter, WR/DB, 5-11, 175 – 3.2 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2QdK2d">http://www.hudl.com/v/2QdK2d</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Corbett Yarbrough, OL, 6-5, 270 – 4.5 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2RCXU7">http://www.hudl.com/v/2RCXU7</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>AWAITING VIDEO</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Koy Hartley, WR/DB, 5-11, 165 – 4.1 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keshawn Kennedy, RB/LB, 5-11, 192</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Domo McBride, OL/DL, 6-1, 255</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aldon Sanchez, WR/DB, 5-7, 145 – 3.19 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>THE FUTURE LOOKS PROMISING</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As good as this senior class will be in 2025, the underclassmen will have something to say as well.
