Tulane Adds Size with Davion Bradford

NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane University men’s basketball program announced the addition of big man Davion Bradford to the team’s roster for the 2025-26 campaign this week. Bradford will join the Green Wave this fall as a graduate transfer with one year of eligibility remaining.
 
“Davion will give us great size and strength at our center position,” Head Coach Ron Hunter said. “To go with his size he will add another high character person to our locker room as well which are two things we were really looking to add this spring.”
 
Bradford, a 7’0″ center, spent last season at East Tennessee State where he played in 25 games and made 11 starts. The St. Louis product averaged 2.5 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per game during his one season in Johnson City, Tennessee. He posted a season-high 14 points and nine rebounds on November 24 against Queens. 
 
Prior to his stint with the Buccaneers, Bradford played one season at Wake Forest in 2022-23. While suiting up with the Demon Deacons he made 26 appearances including five starts averaging 2.6 points on 77.8 percent shooting and 2.0 rebounds.
 
Bradford spent his first two collegiate seasons at Kansas State from 2020-22. As a Wildcat he played in 58 games with 37 starts tallying 318 total points and 181 total rebounds. He averaged 5.5 points and 3.1 boards in 17.8 minutes per game in his two seasons at Kansas State. So far, his collegiate career-high in scoring is 18 points which he recorded twice as a freshman for the Wildcats against Milwaukee (Dec. 11) and Baylor (March 11).
 
The Missouri native was rated as a four-star recruit and ranked the #141 prospect in the country by Rivals.com. He was also rated among the Top 25 centers in the nation including #19 by Rivals.com and #22 by 247Sports. Bradford helped lead Mehlville High School to a 45-14 record across his junior and senior seasons including the team’s first sectional title in 22 seasons in 2018-19.
 
During his prep career, Bradford scored more than 1,000 points including 924 in his last two seasons alone. He connected on 67.3 percent of his shots from the field in high school while also adding 678 rebounds and 184 blocks in 98 career games. Bradford was named to the Class 5A All-State team twice by the Missouri Basketball Coaches and was selected to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch‘s All-Metro Second Team as a senior.
