Career highlights and awards

Ahmad Ali Bradshaw is a former American football quarterback who played for the Army Black Knights.

Football career[]

Before committing to West Point, Bradshaw was recruited by Illinois, Michigan, and Northwestern, who all asked him about switching to cornerback.[1] At West Point, Bradshaw was a three-year starter at quarterback. Before the start of the 2016 season, Bradshaw abruptly left the program,[2] but later returned. At the end of the 2017 Army Black Knights football season, Bradshaw had rushed for a service academy record 1,746 yards and 14 touchdowns, helping Army to a 10–3 season and their first Commander in Chief's Trophy since 1996.[3] Bradshaw became the first Army quarterback since Ronnie McAda to beat Navy in back-to-back seasons.[4]

Controversy[]

Bradshaw was accused of rape by a female cadet in September 2014.[5][6] After an internal investigation, West Point concluded that the allegations were "unfounded".[7][8]

Controversially, Bradshaw was still allowed to remain a member of the football team despite being in violation of the Cadet Code of Honor.[6]
