ike Bradley was a two-year starter for Ferrum’s football team and helped the Panthers finish the 1966 season as the National Junior College Athletic Association National Runner-Up. After graduating from Ferrum College in 1968, Bradley transfered to Southern Illinois University and averaged 8.2 yards per carry as a running back in his first season. In his dual role as a placekicker for SIU he connected on seven field goals of over 40 yards. Bradley and his wife, Diane, have four children, Janet, Cathy, Darrell and James, plus six grandchildren. He retired after 33 years as a service technician for a fuel company. Although he was unable to make it back to campus to accept his Sports Hall of Fame induction certificate, Bradley’s longtime friend Renso “Rock” Perdoni ’69 was present at the ceremony to accept the award for his former teammate and to speak on his behalf.
