2025 Stellar Tight End Hayden Bradley Commits to Lane Kiffin and the Rebels
OXFORD, Miss. — It continues to be another productive weekend for Ole Miss football, from visits to commitments, as the Rebels have added another key piece to their offensive puzzle for 2025 in 3-star tight end Hayden Bradley.
Three star TE Hayden Bradley has committed to Ole Miss, he tells me.
Hayden chose Ole Miss over South Carolina, Florida, Penn State, and Michigan.

Bradley took in Oxford earlier this spring, but when it was all said and done he chose to ‘Come to the Sip’ and be an Ole Miss Rebel.

Lane Kiffin and company are definitely getting a heck of talent with plenty of room for development. During his junior campaign, Bradley was a key component in the Buford offense that was anchored by quarterback Dylan Raiola.
Yeah, this one’s going to be getting out of hand. Buford been on a war path since its only loss to Mill Creek.
Raiola buys time and hits his junior tight end Hayden Bradley

Bradley was primarily utilized as an H-back. The quick scouting report on him is he is the total package for a tight end and from watching his film, one thing that stands out is his versatility as a playmaker.

Bradley is a solid blocker and pass catcher who comes up big in red zone situations, and his physicality creates plenty of match-up difficulties for opponents.
Bradley’s commitment is another big win for Ole Miss tight ends coach Joe Cox, and his marks the sixth commit for the 2025 class. He joins RB Akylin Dear, ATH Jarcoby Hopson, WR Dillon Alfred, LB Talib Graham, and LB Corey Amos in the class.
It could be another big weekend in the ‘Sip with a few more surprises ahead, so stay tuned!
Welcome to ‘Sip, Hayden. We look forward to sharing more about our newest Rebel down the road. Hotty Toddy!
