The Bradshaw Mountain football team looks to be in good shape when it comes to returners for the 2025 season. The Bears will have Kylin Jackson back—he rushed for 1,063 yards and 14 touchdowns and made the All-Grand Canyon Region First Team last year. Also returning is quarterback Michael Sanford, who threw seven touchdown passes and ran for four more touchdowns in 2024.
While Bradshaw did lose Kaleb Dekens, the Region Defensive Player of the Year, they still have some solid guys back on defense. Among them are Diego Galaz, who recorded 97 tackles; Dreyven “The Raven” Gilbert, an All-Region Second Team selection with 63 tackles and two fumble recoveries; and Casey Bauman, who posted 57 tackles and four-and-a-half sacks.
The Bears will also have Kai Martinez, Christian Louthian, and Jameson Garfield—all of whom were All-Region Honorable Mentions—back on the offensive line. Bradshaw Mountain opens the season August 29th at home versus Arcadia.
