Bradshaw relishes role as Trojans' starting center

“Last year when I started I was still a backup,” the 6-foot-3, 292-pound junior from Enterprise said Tuesday. “I started against Texas State because (guard) Kirk Kelley was injured that week. The bowl game … .we had to make an executive switch after the App State game.”

Bradshaw said being surrounded by veterans up front is “awesome.” Left tackle Austin Stidham, left guard Kelley, right guard Tristan Crowder and right tackle J.L. Gaston combined for 49 of a possible 52 starts last season.

“Where you really have to have your center making the calls is when blitzes come,” he said.
