“I would love to explain what happened,” then-OU coach Lincoln Riley said after Bradford’s departure. “I really don’t have an explanation. Certainly not trying to keep anything (secret). It was a strange situation. It’s part of the deal with the transfer portal. And then even in a COVID year, you’re bringing in some people that you flat out know less about. Do all the homework you want, you just don’t know.”

Bradford began his college career at LSU in 2020. After his short stint with the Sooners, he returned to LSU and played the 2021 season, sat out 2022 for undisclosed reasons, then played for the Tigers in 2023 before transferring to North Texas this offseason. But after missing most of spring practice at UNT with injury, Bradford was removed from the roster on April 4, according to the Denton Record Chronicle.
