Wolverines, Terps, Cavs for RB
Jared Bradley out of Wallingford (Pa.) Strath Haven is a safety and running back prospect who has already seen some strong interest from big schools.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder has seen interest predominately as a running back, from schools including Virginia, Maryland, Northwestern, Pittsburgh and Rutgers. He also hopes to hear from Michigan and Virginia Tech in the future.

"I really like the atmosphere at both of those schools."
This season Bradley helped Strath Haven to a 9-2 record as he ran for 1,250 yards and 20 touchdowns on 170 carries. He played sparingly on defense, but had 10 tackles and an interception for a touchdown. Bradley was named first-team all-Delco running back and all-central league.
"We had a good year, we could have gotten better," he said. "I thought I did well, but I'm hoping for a better season next year."
So who is the running back prospect favoring so far?
"I'd say Michigan, Maryland and Virginia; those are really my top three now," Bradley said. "They've been sending me stuff and I've been to a couple of their camps and really liked it a lot."
Bradley is hoping to get a chance to play early in college as well.
"That may be a factor in my recruitment, but also the coaching staff will play a factor," he said. "If I don't play early, I'd like to be in a good atmosphere to learn from somebody ahead of me."
Bradley also grew up a fan of Michigan and Tennessee, will that play a factor in his recruitment?
"I don't think it would play a factor, but it could a little bit."
So far Bradley has visited Michigan, Virginia Tech, Tennessee and Maryland through past football camps.
Currently, the only summer camp scheduled is with Michigan.
