Anthony Bradford from Muskegon High High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Bradford opted to join LSU.In 2019 as a freshman Bradford saw action in just 3 games and played a total of 22 snaps for the Tigers.

As a sophomore in 2020 he played in just one game and a total of 7 snaps. He conceded no QB hurries, no QB hits, and no sacks while playing sparingly.
In 2021 as a junior Bradford saw action in 6 games and totaled 259 snaps. He gave up 5 QB hurries, 2 QB hits, and one sack while playing most of his snaps at left tackle.

Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has a strong upper body with physical, powerful hands and works hard to gain body positioning in the run game.
- Bradford will have a chance to develop as a right tackle or possibly inside at guard, where Bradford could be an interesting prospect for a zone-blocking team. If nothing else, that versatility is enough to make him at least a quality reserve.
- Lone concern is handling the superquick NFL edge rusher. Foot speed and quickness are very good, but not elite.
- Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet.
- Showing some nastiness to his game, he will sustain blocks through the whistle, thriving when he’s in the phone booth.
- Takes much more pride in the run game, where he plays through the whistle with tremendous physicality.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Needs to prove his worth in a straight-ahead running game.
- He’ll occasionally stop his feet when delivering a punch, and Bradford doesn’t play with ideal balance when moving back into his set. He’ll often struggle to mirror if he can’t win early on passing plays.
- Not great in space and tends to lose power the farther he has to move; he doesn’t finish as well on the second level as he does battle in the phone booth around the line of scrimmage.
