Bradley McGrath '26 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goal is to do what I absolutely love...play football. I want to continue my love for football beyond high school and play for a college team. My plan is to major in sports medicine and athletic training.  My long term goal and aspiration is to play in the NFL and also one day to be an athletic trainer for a division 1 football team. 

What makes me a good candidate for college football is that I am a utility player.  Since the age of 5, I have played multiple positions as well as playing both offense and defense. The positions that I have played over the years include:  safety, QB (first string and second string), running back, outside linebacker and long snapper.  At age of 14, I was pulled from JV mid season to starting Varsity as outside linebacker, safety and long snapper; which are all the positions that I am currently playing.  At the end of the 2022 season, I was awarded the Varsity Rookie of the Year Defense Award. 

I consider myself an all around athlete and although I have played many sports over the years (baseball, football, basketball, track) and have received many awards from all sports, football is my passion and my drive. I have a positive and strong mindset on and off the field. I keep God first in my life and make good choices/decisions therefore making me a great role model for my teammates. I strive to always work hard giving over 100% of myself in the classroom, at practice, during training, at the gym and during my games. I am determined, motivated, resilient, a team player and have great leadership skills, which are all seen on and off the field.  When coach needs assistance to help demonstrate how a position is played, he instructs me to teach/demonstrate and help my teammates gain better techniques at their positions. During the off season, I run indoor track as a sprinter and I help other football athletes in weight lifting and field work. Running track allows me to strengthen my endurance with running and gain knowledge with proper technique of running/sprinting for football.  All of these qualities make me an outstanding athlete and I look forward to becoming even better through my hard work the next 3 years of high school. In addition, I will be attending camps and doing all that I can so that I am academically and athletically ready for the college football field. I know that I will make a great asset to any football college team.
