VIDEO: C Garrett Bradbury Breaks Down Confidence in Reggie Gallaspy, the Right Side, & his Dance Moves

Published

Yesterday we spoke with NC State Graduate Senior Center Garrett Bradbury after practice and he unpacked the status of the new faces on the Right Side of the O-Line, his confidence in Reggie Gallaspy, what preseason award watch lists mean to him, and he even explained this epic gif revealing his dance skills.

Above is the video and below are the BULLETED highlights from our conversation.

On the epic gif which features Bradbury, Reggie Gallaspy and Tyler Jones dancing…

  • In regards to the dance moves, the best is yet to come. We were thrown a little off guard. We were doing a photo shoot, and they just told us to start dancing. They told us to bust out whatever we had in us, and that’s absolutely not all that we have. So hopefully they will ask the offensive linemen to come out to more photo shoots to dance more.

On being named to Preseason Award Watch Lists…

  • It’s not about me. It’s about the job Coach Ledford has done. The O-Line we had last year. If we aren’t a good O-Line last year, no one is on any watch lists. To me, it’s not an individual award watch list.

On Reggie Gallaspy being the running back behind him now…

  • I love it. I think he’s going to be an absolute stud this year. There were question marks after Matt Dayes. Nyheim Hines hadn’t played running back in college. Answered those questions pretty quick. Have no doubt we are going to do the same with Reggie. Whoever we throw back there. We have Coach Kitchings back there.

On the new faces on the Right Side of the O-Line…

  • Sophomore Right Guard Joshua Fedd-Jackson is a mauler. He’s shown a lot of growth in this year alone. Lost some weight. Got a little heavy at the end of the year last year. Moving around a lot better now. Played good for us last year.
  • Redshirt Sophomore Right Tackle Justin Witt from a mental stand point, is taking it much more serious. Learning the plays. Learning the schemes.
  • The plan is no drop off. Know we sent two players from the right side to the NFL, but I love what we’ve got going on on the Right Side.

In case you missed it, here’s our Position Preview for the Offensive Line.

Akron Safety Kerry Martin Jr. will Take an Official Visit at NC State Next Week

By

Akron Safety Kerry Martin Jr. (6’1″/195) confirmed with me that he will be taking an Official Visit to NC State next week beginning on May 7th.

After receiving an offer from NC State yesterday, it didn’t take him long to set up the visit.

Martin Jr. is familiar with NC State, because he was recruited by Wolfpack Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson before he left West Virginia to come to Raleigh. Even though he never coached him, a relationship was established.

Martin Jr.’s connections to NC State are deeper than that. Former NC State Cornerback Derrek Pitts, who is currently a member of the Tampa Bay Bucs, is his cousin.

This past year, Martin Jr. recorded 45 tackles, 2 interceptions and 6 pass breakups for Akron, starting in 9 of the 11 games he played in. His PFF Grade was 68.9.

In 2022, he had 53 tackles, 1 interception and 1 pass breakup, starting in 9 of the 11 games he played in. Martin Jr.’s PFF Grade was 60.9.

In 2019, as a Freshman for West Virginia, Martin Jr. earned PFF Freshman All-American honors, recording a grade of 70.6, with 50 tackles and 3 pass breakups.
