NC State’s Garrett Bradbury is 1 of 8 Semifinalists for Outland Trophy

Eight semifinalists for the 2018 Outland Trophy were named today, and NC State Graduate Senior Center Garrett Bradbury was one of them.

The Outland Trophy has been awarded to the best interior lineman on offense or defense since 1946.

Here’s what the FWAA had to say about Bradbury:

Garrett Bradbury, C, North Carolina State (6-3, 300, Gr., Charlotte, N.C.): A three-year starter on the line, the team co-captain has played all but four snaps for the Wolfpack this season. In 679 snaps he has not allowed a sack and has only allowed two pressures on 348 pass attempts. His protection has helped place Ryan Finley on the cusp to become N.C. State’s only quarterback to pass for 3,000-plus yards in three different seasons. Has led the blocking for an offense averaging 31.4 points and 453.0 yards per game. Earned his degree last year in business supply operations management. (Outland)
