<p>After what he did in the state championship game there is no doubt his stock is on the rise. Thies beat the third best team in the state almost by himself. He is a ball hawk both as a tackler and getting interceptions.</p>

<p>Bradley is a corner that anticipates well on the back end breaking on the ball quickly. Really like the footwork and back pedal in press coverage. Comes up in run support with sound tackling. Gets off blocks to make tackle.</p>

Type writer footwork in coverage with quick change of direction batting passes down closing on the receiver quickly. Runs well with receiver downfield.</p>
