Bradshaw was born in Shreveport ( Louisiana ) and was the second of three children in the family of farmer and welder William Bradshaw and Novis Gay [1] [2] . Terry spent his childhood in Clinton ( Iowa ), where he decided to become a professional footballer. When he grew up a little his parents moved back to Shreveport [3] and he began to attend Woodlone High School, where he played for the local football team, which in 1965 reached the final, in which he lost with a score of 12: 9. While studying at school, he set a national record in javelin throwing , throwing it at 74.68 m [4] .
After graduation, Bradshaw decided to enter the Louisiana University of Technology in Ruston (Virginia). At university, he was a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, was a member of the Christian Athletes fraternity, and often gave speeches to sports banquets and other events [5] . He was originally the second quarterback on the roster after Phil Robertson.
In 1969, he was already considered by the NFL scouts one of the best student football players. In his third year, he made 2,890 yards and was the NCAA leader in that regard. Thanks to his help, the Louisiana team won the Rice Bowl against the Akron team with a score of 33:13. In the fourth year of training, he made 2314 yards, becoming the third in this indicator in the championship, and his team finished the season with a score of 8-2. His lower performance in the graduation season is explained by the fact that his team played only 10 games in the season and because of the great advantage in the second half of the season, some of the games were removed from the schedule.
