Arkansas State defensive end William Bradley-King entered the transfer portal Friday morning, a source told 247Sports. He’ll have one year of eligibility remaining.
“First and foremost, I would like to thank my coaches, teammates, professors, and the Arkansas State University administration for all of their help and guidance they’ve given me throughout my four years here in Jonesboro, Arkansas,” Bradley-King wrote on Twitter when he later announced the move. “Arkansas State has given me the opportunity to further my education and graduate with a bachelor’s degree while playing the game that I love.
“I have met some of the most amazing people here who have helped me to become the man I am today, and each one of you holds a special place in my hear. I have always dreamed of being in the NFL, and I still plan to do so. I leave blood, sweat, and tears on every field I touch and give it my all on and off the field.
“After a lot of prayer and conversations with my loved ones, I have decided to enter the graduate transfer portal so that I can move forward with pursuing my lifelong dream. Thank you Red Wolves for all the love, support, and memories. I hope you will continue to support me as I transition to this next chapter in my life.”
Bradley-King posted 49 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks last season, leading the Red Wolves in both of the latter categories. The Kansas City native recorded 9.5 tackles for loss and six sacks during his redshirt sophomore season in 2018.
The 6-foot-4, 248-pound pass rusher came to Arkansas State as a member of the 2016 class, ranking as the nation’s No. 2,515 overall player in the 247Sports Composite.
