One of the top uncommitted prospects in the class of 2026 is nearing his commitment announcement.
According to On3’s Chad Simmons, Blaine Bradford of Catholic (Baton Rouge) will make his pledge before his senior season with the Bears.
“I will likely commit before July,” Bradford told On3. “I am thinking late June, right after my official visits, but we will see how I am feeling. After my official visits, I will pray about it, talk to my family members and those close to me, then make my decision.”
