Sam Bradford is a 6-foot-5, 213 pound redshirt freshman that was named Oklahoma's starting quarterback back in August 2007 where he beat out two others (junior Joey Halzle and freshman Keith Nichol) to earn the job.

Bradford attended Putnam City North High School in Oklahoma City where he threw for 2,422 yards and 19 touchdowns his senior year. He took over the reigns for Paul Thompson, who led Oklahoma to the Big 12 Championship. Bradford also directed the team to another Big 12 Title this year.

Kent Bradford, Sam's dad, was also a player, an offensive lineman for the Sooners back in the 70's.

Bradford has hardly looked like a freshman on the game field this year. Besides the Big 12 title win, Bradford had another very impressive win this year against the then #19 ranked Texas Longhorns. He had an impressive 244 yards through the air and 3 touchdowns to lead the Sooners past the Longhorns 28-21.

Sam Bradford is one of the best freshman in the nation. This year he has thrown for 2,879 yards with 34 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. He's just been incredibly accurate and very controlled. He has been at the helm of a very powerful offense this year that ranks third in the country in scoring at 43.4 points per game and 18th in total offense at 451.2 yards per game.
