Going into the 2023 football season, LSU Wire will be looking at each player listed on the Tigers’ roster.
Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Brian Kelly this season.
We are headed back to the loaded running back room to check out [autotag]Tre Bradford[/autotag], who signed with LSU out of high school then transferred to Oklahoma, and then back to LSU. He has played in six games making only one start in his career as a Tiger.
Bradford didn’t play in 2022, but he’s back on the roster to provide some depth this fall.

Depth Chart Overview
Bradford had high expectations when he signed at LSU as a top-150 prospect from Dallas in the 2020 recruiting class. He appeared in five games that year as a true freshman, but he saw minimal action. After only attempting 10 carries for 58 yards, he entered the transfer portal.
He landed at Oklahoma, but after just a handful of practices, he decided to re-enter the portal and returned to LSU shortly before the season started. Thanks to a rule allowing players to return to their original school before they’ve appeared in a certain number of practices at their new school, he was given eligibility in 2021.
In spite of that, he battled injuries and appeared in just one game, taking two carries for 11 yards. His only touchdown in two years came through the air,
As previously mentioned, LSU’s running back room is loaded with talent. It’s as if there are five or six different cooks all trying to cook in one kitchen. Bradford is going to compete for carries with [autotag]Josh Williams[/autotag], [autotag]Armoni Goodwin[/autotag], [autotag]John Emery Jr.[/autotag], [autotag]Logan Diggs[/autotag] and [autotag]Trey Holly[/autotag].
