Blaine Bradford picked up an offer from Alabama towards the end of last month during a visit with the Crimson Tide.
Bradford is a product of Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He is considered one of the nation’s top 2026 safety prospects and is a consensus four-star recruit. His offers list now includes some of the best college football programs in the nation including Alabama, LSU, Notre Dame, Oregon and others.
The Crimson Tide have made an instant impact on Bradford’s recruitment.
“They stand high in my recruitment right now, probably top five easy,” Bradford told Touchdown Alabama. “I love the coaches over there. I love the environment. I love the players.”
The Louisiana product had an opportunity to watch one of Alabama’s player-led workouts during his visit.
“It was good,” said Bradford. “I watched practice, very organized, very player ran. They got a chip on their shoulder for sure. I am looking to go back for a game.”
Bradford is interested in returning to Alabama for a game this season. He is optimistic about what the Crimson Tide’s new coaching staff will do in Tuscaloosa.
“I think they are handling the pressure really well right now,” Bradford said. “They got some of the best players in the nation right now, two of the best safeties, probably the best quarterback. The pressure is on them, but I think they’re handling it well.”
The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder, has the frame and strength of a future linebacker, and he plays strong at the point of attack with his ability to stack and shed. He has the potential to make plays from different positions within the secondary on the next level as he can be effective playing in the box and close to the line of scrimmage.
