WVU LB Tyrin Bradley Turns Attention to NFL Draft

After two years at WVU, Tyrin Bradley is hoping to turn pro as he declared for the NFL Draft on Thursday night.

Bradley revealed his plans with a long message on social media. He thanked his coaches and the fans at both West Virginia and Abilene Christian, where he spent two years before transferring to WVU, in his note.

In 2024, Bradley recorded 56 total tackles, four pass deflections, 1.5 sacks and a pass deflection. He made 20 tackles with 2.5 sacks and a pick in 2023.

Individually, a college career highlight for Bradley was being named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week for Week 4 this year.

Bradley stood out all throughout West Virginia’s comeback win over Kansas, but made his presence really felt at the end to lock up the victory. He recorded seven tackles, an interception and then both forced and recovered a fumble with eight seconds remaining in the game. Bradley’s seven tackles were a career-high for a single game.
