From 1996 to 1999 he became a 4-year letter winner while leading the Coyotes to the Class D-2 State Quarterfinals and the Class D-1 State Semifinals in his final two years of high school. As a dual-threat quarterback and defensive back, he finished his career with over 3,500 yards of total offense and 43 TD's, while also adding 260 tackles and 16 interceptions on defense. In his prep career, Brad was twice honored as a 1st Team All-Conference, Norfolk Daily News Top 20, and 1st Team All-State selection and was also chosen to play in the 23rd Annual Eight-Man All Star Game- where he was honored as a team captain for the West squad. After graduation, he went on to Doane College, where he became a 3-year starter and 2-time All-GPAC punt returner and defensive back. In 2007, Brad enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he not only served honorably, but was awarded the Silver Star and the Purple Heart for his heroic service to our country. Brad represents the very best of the heart and spirit that the young men in our state play Eight-Man Football with. The NEMFCA is honored to now induct him into the Hall of Fame Class of 2025.
