Try as I might, I could not find season statistics for Bradley. I'm sure they're out there. I just couldn't turn anything up in my 30 minutes of looking.

Oak Mountain plays in the highest classification of Alabama football. Their competition is the best that the state has to offer. These are the athletes that college coaches supposedly put at the top of the list (along with top division Texas, Florida, Mississippi, and California kids). Watch, then, as Bradley makes his pursuers look slow and clumsy. He is lightning fast out of the backfield. He passes the second level with speed where possible and with agility where necessary. His moves are Woodhead-esque (TM). He's a powerful weapon in the passing game, as no defensive back can match him step for step.
His stature puts him in rare company. Along with the aforementioned Patriots star, he's the same height as the highly praised Noel Devine, and he's at least a foot taller than current NFL runningback Darren Sproles.

This guy looks like a stud. Unfortunately short white guys with a ton of skill get looked over by recruiters. He reminds me of Eric Gerber who is a walk on slot receiver with West Virginia. Another kid I dont think has been mentioned here is Dylan Sawyers out of Carson City, Nevada. Hes a long strider with some power and good moves. I believe he was named all state this year and will most likely wind up at Nevada under scholarship.

White RBs in any size or shape are "overlooked" by recruiters. And overlooked is not the correct word, they are purposely ignored. All one has to do is take a quick look at the "top 100" RBs from any of the so-called "recruiting services" and compare it to the top RBs by production (measurables will be virtually identical on average) on say, MaxPreps, and the agenda is crystal-clear.
