EVERY PLAYERHAS A STORY.

One player's season, told in order: game by game, against his position, where he does his damage, and who he plays like.

Phillip Bradford, Texas State DL: the 2026 season story

Phillip Bradford is a junior defensive lineman for Texas State (Pac-12). He ranks 1304th of 1,709 defensive linemen in Division I by the Player Index, which judges every defensive lineman on the measures that matter at the position, adjusted for the opponents he faced.

01

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. Phillip Bradford's strongest measure is passes defended per game at 0.14, 185th of 892 (the average is 0.08). His weakest is sacks per game at 0.00, 673rd of 892 (the average is 0.19).

02

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, 2.1, ranks 548th among 892 ranked defensive linemen.

03

Against every defensive lineman

Why it matters. Splitting the measures into how much, how well and how many big plays shows what kind of defensive lineman he is. Among ranked defensive linemen he sits, on average, in the 39th percentile for volume and 35th for impact.

04

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 7 games, Phillip Bradford's best came in week 2 against UTSA and his quietest in week 1 at Texas.

05

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.

06

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. Phillip Bradford is 737th of 892 FBS defensive linemen and 35th of 38 in the Pac-12. Next up nationally is Joseph Adedire of NC State, 0.00 ahead on the index.

07

Defensive linemen 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 Zaimir Hawk of Iowa State.

About this page

A season, told as a story

Every player page tells one player's season in order. It shows where he ranks at his position in the Player Index, what he has done game by game, and how each game measured up against the defense or offense he faced.

What each part shows

The story covers his production against every qualified player at his position, where on the field he does his damage, how his usage has changed over the season, his best and quietest games, and the players whose seasons look most like his. Transfers show the school he came from. Any chart can be switched from the whole season to a single game.

Where the numbers come from

Everything is built from public play-by-play data for this season, with every game adjusted for the strength of the opponent. Past seasons back to 2015 are available from the season menu, so a player's career can be read year by year.
