CLEMSON – Brock Bradley knew pretty quickly that he wanted to be at Clemson.

The 2026 quarterback committed to the Tigers back in August, about a week after picking up his offer. On Saturday, he returned to campus for the first time since making that decision, taking in the atmosphere of a night game in Death Valley.

“It was great,” Bradley told The Clemson Insider. “It definitely felt
different to be up there committed. I definitely was taking a closer look than usual. It was great, despite the loss. At the end of the day, that’s just football. It was an unbelievable atmosphere. Death Valley at night is something incredible. To be able to get up there and experience that, it was truly amazing.”

Also in attendance were several high-profile uncommitted prospects, with Bradley and fellow 2026 commit Shavar Young Jr. hooking up to make the pitch.

“Me and Shavar Young Jr., we actually got to meet up there,” Bradley said. “We got to spend a lot of time talking about the guys that Clemson’s targeting and the guys that we want to work on for this class. We got to spend some time planning and pitching to those guys. What Clemson brings and what they would get is they came with  us and hopped in.”

Bradley is planning to help lead the charge when it comes to recruiting the 2026 class.

“I feel like anything that we can do to help as players is huge,” Bradley added. “Just to pitch to other fellow recruits that Clemson brings something special on and off the field. Helping them understand that was great.”

The 3-star quarterback has helped lead Spain Park to a 10-0 record this fall. This has been one of the schools more successful seasons in some time. Bradley is completing 68% of his passes and has thrown for 2,135 yards with 29 touchdowns to just three interceptions. He has also added another four rushing touchdowns. His QBR of 136.6 is the highest in the state of Alabama in the 6A classification.

While his strong junior season has certainly helped drive up his stock, Bradley insists that he is no longer on the market. While the Tigers have seen their share of decommitments in the 2025 class, the quarterback isn’t wavering and maintains he is all in.

“It is extremely strong,” Bradley said. “I told myself when I made this decision on where I’m going, that’s where I’m going to college. When I chose Clemson, my commitment means everything. I’m completely locked in with the Tigers. That’s where I want to be.”
