NC State Center Garrett Bradbury 1 of 3 Finalists for the Rimington Trophy

NC State Redshirt Graduate Center Garrett Bradbury has been named 1 of the 3 finalists for the 2018 Rimington Trophy, along with Ross Pierschbacher (Alabama) and Sam Mustipher (Notre Dame). The Rimington Trophy has been awarded to the best Center in college football since 2000.

Garrett Bradbury, NC State

Named a team captain for the 2018 season, Bradbury played 99.0% (901 of 910) of the snaps for the Wolfpack this season. He did not allow a quarterback pressure all season and was named a first team All-ACC performer (the first first-team selection for a Wolfpack center since 1987) as well as being named a semifinalist for the Outland Trophy – the only center on that list. Most recently, Bradbury scored a touchdown in the final regular season game against East Carolina, rushing the ball from the one-yard line. (Rimington)

When Bradbury arrived in 2014, he was a 2-star Tight End out of Charlotte, North Carolina. Back then he was 6’3” and weighed 240 pounds. Now he’s the same height, but weighs 300 pounds. Arriving as a Tight End, he then was moved to Defensive Tackle…then to Offensive Guard…and finally landed at Center.
