Few athletes in Pennsylvania can say they rewrote a school’s record books in one sport and earned Gatorade Player of the Year honors in another — but Abington Heights junior Nick Bradley did both.

A two-sport phenom, Bradley earns the #9 spot on our Agape Freedom Sports “Athletes of the Year” list for his outstanding accomplishments as both quarterback and pitcher, showcasing elite leadership, competitive drive, and next-level production every time he stepped on the field.

On the Gridiron: Abington’s All-Time QB:

Bradley led the Comets to their first District 2 Class 5A championship since 2016, guiding them to an 8–4 season and a PIAA playoff appearance. He didn’t just manage games — he owned them. The junior threw for 2,076 yards and 26 touchdowns, while adding 371 rushing yards and 8 more scores on the ground.

And he’s not done yet.

With one more year to go, Bradley has the chance to pile up even more yards and potentially lead Abington Heights to back-to-back District 2 titles. There hasn’t been a quarterback like Nick at Abington in decades — not since the days of Chris Kelly in the late 1990s, when the Comets were a regional powerhouse. Bradley has already shattered Kelly’s career passing yardage record, adding to his growing legend.

Career Totals (so far):
• 4,491 passing yards
• 52 total touchdowns
• Two-time All-Region selection
• School record-holder in passing yards and touchdowns

With big-time weapons like Shawn Theodore and Gavin Anders, Bradley helped the Comets average over 30 points per game during a five-game win streak that led to the district title. But his greatest value isn’t just on the stat sheet — it’s the poise, leadership, and confidence he brings to the huddle.

⚾ On the Diamond: Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year:

If the fall belonged to Bradley, the spring confirmed his status as one of the state’s elite athletes. The Auburn University baseball commit was named the 2025 Gatorade Pennsylvania Baseball Player of the Year, joining an elite list that includes Mike Mussina and Neil Walker.

2025 Baseball Season Stats:
• 7–1 pitching record
• 0.72 ERA, 92 strikeouts
• .493 batting average (35-for-71)
• 7 doubles, 2 triples, 2 home runs
• 32 RBIs, 20 runs scored

Bradley helped lead Abington Heights to a 17–5 record and a trip to the District 2 Class 5A final. And he did it while maintaining a 94.4 GPA, volunteering as a youth baseball instructor, and giving back through football team community initiatives.

Legacy Still Building:

Still just a junior, Nick Bradley already owns one of the most decorated athletic resumes in Abington Heights history. A fierce competitor with a humble, team-first mindset, Bradley’s rare blend of intelligence, toughness, and leadership made him an easy Top 10 pick on this year’s list.

Whether it’s firing a touchdown pass under pressure or striking out a cleanup hitter with the game on the line — Nick Bradley delivers.

And his senior year? It might be the most legendary chapter yet — solidifying his place as one of the greatest athletes to ever come out of Abington Heights.
