Bradley Neal is a standout senior at Anadarko High, known not only for his athletic ability but for his relentless work ethic and leadership both on the football field and in powerlifting. As a driven athlete, Bradley’s motivation comes from a simple yet powerful desire: to be the number one person and player, on and off the field. “I don’t want anyone to doubt that I’m not,” he says.
One of Bradley’s biggest inspirations is his dad, whose determination and hard work have shaped his mindset and fueled his ambitions. “My dad is a role model because of his work ethic,” Bradley explains. In addition, Coach Sutter has played a major role in his development, teaching him the importance of dedication and doing things the right way. “If you’re going to do something, you’re going to do it right,” Bradley recalls Coach Sutter telling him.
Bradley understands that success requires a mix of hard work, determination, and the will to push forward no matter the obstacles. One of his career highlights came during a thrilling game against Lone Grove, where his team mounted a comeback from being down by 30 points—a moment that still motivates him today.
A fierce competitor, Bradley thrives on beating whoever stands in his way. He values teammates who give 100% effort every play and believes that every player on the team is equally important. “There’s no least appreciated player. If you’re giving your all, I appreciate every bit of it.”
Outside of sports, Bradley is deeply involved in his church community. When it comes to social media, he admires Brent Venables for his intense drive and ability to inspire players through challenges.
Balancing academics, football, and life takes discipline and consistency, but Bradley embraces the challenge, always striving for greatness. Representing Anadarko High and the community means a lot to him. “I want our program to be one that people want to move into Anadarko to be great like we are.”
