Tennessee Football Player Chandavian Bradley Cited for Reckless Driving
University of Tennessee football player Chandavian Bradley was cited for reckless driving on January 14, 2025, according to a statement from the university. The incident occurred early Sunday morning when Bradley, a freshman linebacker for the Volunteers, was pulled over by local authorities in Knoxville.
Details surrounding the arrest are still under investigation, but authorities confirmed that Bradley was cited after driving at a high rate of speed in a residential area. Police also noted that Bradley was observed weaving between lanes, which led to the reckless driving charge. While no injuries were reported, the citation has raised concerns about the safety of both the player and other motorists on the road.
In response to the incident, the University of Tennessee issued a brief statement expressing their awareness of the situation. “We are aware of the citation involving Chandavian Bradley and are gathering more information,” said the statement. “We take these matters seriously and will address them internally.”
Bradley, a highly regarded prospect from the 2024 recruiting class, had a standout season in high school, making him one of the top defensive recruits for the Vols. As of now, the university has not announced any disciplinary actions regarding his status on the team. It is unclear whether the incident will impact his participation in upcoming team activities or games.
Reckless driving is a serious offense, and Bradley now faces potential consequences both legally and from the university. His situation will likely be monitored closely as both the local authorities and the Tennessee football program review the circumstances surrounding the incident.
As of now, Bradley has not publicly commented on the citation. The football program is expected to release further updates as more information becomes available.
