It was not necessarily the plan for Muskegon (Mich.) offensive lineman Anthony Bradford to commit this early. He had considered taking more official visits, but after looking over his recruitment, Bradford did not see a reason to wait when he felt comfortable at LSU. He committed to the Tigers on Tuesday night and released it on Wednesday after taking an official visit to the school last month.

He gives the Tigers a four-star prospect per the 247Sports Composite and is ranked as the No. 28 offensive tackle in the country and No. 7 junior prospect in the state of Michigan.

"It was just the hospitality when we went down there," the 6-foot-5, 320-pound Bradford said, "the way treated me and my mom. I loved being around the coaching staff and players and I loved the town."

Bradford is a devastating run blocker with great natural strength.

"LSU lands a commitment from one of the Midwest’s most dominant offensive linemen in Anthony Bradford," 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong said. "A drive blocker with a knack for burying defenders in the turf 10-yards downfield, I love the way Bradford fires off the the ball and he was a big reason why Muskegon ran the table en route to a state championship last fall. Extremely aggressive and powerful, with the ability to open huge running lanes, it’s easy to picture Bradford paving the way for big running lanes on the interior of the Tigers offensive line. A menacing duo for LSU on the interior with Bradford and Kardell Thomas.."

"LSU, they project me at tackle," Bradford said, "because Kardell Thomas is coming in same class and we would be playing together and we would be a dominant right side. They want to run the ball and play hard nosed football and Kardell is a beast. I can't want to play next to him. I think he is a similar player to me."
