Bio
Bradley completed his fourth season on the Golden Eagle roster and began collecting honors and awards for his efforts. In March, he was one of seven collegiate players honored by the Middle Tennessee Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame as Tech's winner of the Joe. C. Davis Collegiate Scholar-Athlete award. A three-year letterman, Thompson has not only been a mainstay on the field but has also been active representing Tech off the field in a variety of roles. A member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), he is also a member of the Pi Tau Sigma, the national Mechanical Engineering Honor Society. A two-time OVC Academic Medal of Honor winner, he has been named to the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll and the Tech Athletic Director's Honor Roll. He is a two-time Academic All-District pick by CoSIDA and ESPN the Magazine, and is a two-time FCS Athletic Director's Association Academic All-Star team pick. He was one of six OVC Scholar-Athlete winners. Thompson progressed from a walk-on to a starter on the defensive line for the Golden Eagles. As a senior, he played in all 12 games and made 15 tackles including 1.5 tackles-for-loss.
