Duke Bradley, Bryant S: the 2026 season story
Duke Bradley is a senior defensive back for Bryant (Coastal Athletic). He ranks 1181st of 1,841 defensive backs in Division I by the Player Index, which judges every defensive back on the measures that matter at the position, adjusted for the opponents he faced.
Scouting report
Why it matters. Knowing the one or two things a player does best, and where he is ordinary, says more than any single total. Duke Bradley's strongest measure is yards per catch on his record at 11.8, 509th of 921 (the average is 11.6). His weakest is interceptions per game at 0.00, 397th of 921 (the average is 0.08).
Season production
Why it matters. Totals reward staying healthy and getting the ball; per-game numbers show how much he really carries each week. His tackles per game, 2.6, ranks 687th among 921 ranked defensive backs.
Against every defensive back
Why it matters. Splitting the measures into how much, how well and how many big plays shows what kind of defensive back he is. Among ranked defensive backs he sits, on average, in the 26th percentile for volume, 44th for efficiency and 20th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. A season average can hide a player who is great one week and absent the next; game by game shows how dependable he is. Over 10 games, Duke Bradley's best came in week 9 at Monmouth and his quietest in week 5 against North Carolina A&T.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. Where and how a player makes his plays shows how his team uses him and what a defense has to take away.
National and conference
Why it matters. A national rank shows how a player stacks up beyond his own league, where the competition can be very different. Duke Bradley is 496th of 920 FCS defensive backs and 44th of 87 in the Coastal Athletic. Next up nationally is James Gamble V of Morgan State, 0.01 ahead on the index.
Defensive backs like him
Why it matters. Comparing a player with his closest statistical matches puts his season in context beyond the rankings. His closest match this season is Kaleb Quammie of Northern Colorado.
