Former LSU running back Tre Bradford is headed to Grambling State to be reunited with one of the coaches on the staff at his former SEC school.
Bradford is reportedly preparing the suit up for Grambling State’s season opener against Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday, according to the Ruston Leader. He will make his GSU debut the same day as new head coach Mickey Joseph, who was on the LSU staff when he joined the program.
Tre Bradford had an impressive high school career at Lancaster High School in Texas. He was a highly rated running back, ranked as a four-star prospect by multiple recruiting services. Bradford rushed for over 1,500 yards and 23 touchdowns as a senior, helping his team to an 11-2 record and a district championship. His performance earned him All-District honors and recognition as one of the top running backs in Texas.
Tre Bradford began his college football career at LSU in 2020, where he appeared in five games, including one start, and recorded his first career touchdown against Florida. After a brief stint at Oklahoma, he returned to LSU in 2022. In total, Bradford played in seven games for LSU, with two starts, and accumulated 70 rushing yards on 16 carries. His career highlight was a 55-yard reception against Florida State in 2023. Bradford entered the transfer portal in December 2023, seeking new opportunities.
He has found that opportunity at Grambling State, where he’ll get the chance to do so at another legendary program.
