Kansas State Lands Transfer Wide Receiver Jerand Bradley
Kansas State has secured a key addition to its roster with the transfer of wide receiver Jerand Bradley. Formerly with Texas Tech and Boston College, Bradley will return to the Big 12 as a Wildcat. According to 247Sports, Bradley has committed to joining K-State, reuniting with head coach Matt Wells, who initially recruited him out of Desoto High School.
Bradley brings significant experience to K-State, boasting over 1,300 receiving yards and more than 1,400 snaps at the Power Four level. After entering the transfer portal for the second time on December 9th, he visited both Oklahoma and Kansas State. Ultimately, K-State’s familiar offense and the promise of an immediate role influenced his decision.
Standing at 6-foot-5 and 222 pounds, Bradley adds size and reliability to K-State’s receiving corps. Despite a challenging season in the ACC in 2024—recording just 94 yards on six receptions—Bradley demonstrated his efficiency by scoring touchdowns on two of those catches. Over his collegiate career, he has averaged 14 yards per catch and emerged as a dependable target, dropping only eight of 165 passes thrown his way, per Pro Football Focus.
Bradley’s blocking ability also sets him apart, with a 62.6 run-blocking grade over the past three seasons, outpacing all of K-State’s returning receivers and newcomer Tibbs. His skills make him a valuable asset for Avery Johnson and the Wildcats’ revamped offense under receivers coach Matthew Middleton.
Originally a highly ranked prospect from Desoto High School, Bradley held offers from 15 major programs. Now, with one year of eligibility left, he will aim to make an impact at Kansas State as they rebuild their receiving group for the upcoming season.
