LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Lubbock Mayor Tray Payne recognized a Red Raider’s accomplishments off the field today.
Tony Bradford, Junior, a defensive lineman for Texas Tech, was named Honorary Mayor for the day.
In a social media post about the official accolade, Mayor Payne noted that Bradford is just one of ten college football players to make the AFCA’s “Good Works Team,” an honor for his work giving back to the community .
It’s fitting since Coach McGuire called him “Mayor” because of his dedication to civics.
Mayor Payne said Lubbock is fortunate that Bradford is sticking around for another year of football and service.
In a tweet about being named “Honorary Chair” for a day, Bradford said his first order of business is to help Texas Tech go 1-0 today.
