Oklahoma State Picks Up Commitment from Junior College Edge Rusher Rashod Bradley

With about a week before signing day, the Cowboys added a talent from the junior college ranks on Tuesday.

Rashod Bradley, a defensive lineman out of East Mississippi Community College, announced that he has committed to Oklahoma State. Listed at 6-foot-4, 255 pounds, Bradley has 19 tackles this season, including 4.5 tackles for loss and a half sack. He’s also recorded a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup. Bradley tweeted out Monday that he would be in Stillwater for a visit before quicky turning around and pledging to the Pokes.

Bradley had also reported offers to Arkansas, USF, Toledo, Temple, FIU and others. According to 247Sports, Bradley is the No. 31 player in junior college this year, making him the No. 3 edge rusher.

He hails from Lake City, Florida, attending Columbia High School. Coming out of high school, Bradley had offers to FIU, Miami (Ohio) and Ohio before electing to go the junior college route.

This is Bradley’s second season in Scooba, Mississippi. As a freshman last year, he recorded 13 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and  a sack. He notes on his X account that he will be a December graduate from EMCC.

Bradley becomes the 16th commitment the Cowboys have in the 2025 cycle but the first from the junior college ranks, though his announcement comes not long after Hutchinson Community College linebacker Chandavian Bradley put the Pokes in his top two. Rashod Bradley’s commitment moves OSU’s 2025 class up to 58th nationally in 247Sports’ rankings with its 16 commitments, which puts it 13th in the Big 12 ahead of UCF, Colorado and Cincinnati. With programs taking a drastically different number of traditional recruits in wake of the transfer portal, it’s probably more fair to rank teams by their per-commit average rating. When looking at it that way, OSU’s class ranks 11th in a tightly packed Big 12 that has a dozen programs within a point of each other.
