Bradley becomes third JUCO signee

Auburn landed its third junior college transfer since Gus Malzahn took over as head coach, as four-star defensive lineman Ben Bradley from Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College signed his letter of intent on Tuesday, Malzahn announced in a statement. Bradley, who will have two years of eligibility remaining, tweeted his commitment on Monday and will enroll in classes when the Spring semester begins later this week.

The 6-3, 315-pound Bradley had 43 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and five sacks last season and helped the Blue Dragons to a 9-3 record. He joins former teammate Devonte Danzey, an offensive lineman, who signed with Auburn on Christmas Day.

The Tigers also signed the No. 1-ranked junior college running back, Cameron Artis-Payne, on Dec. 19.
