Bradley senior forward Bryan Gaul (Naperville, Ill./Neuqua Valley H.S.) is one of the top professional prospects in the country, according to the debut edition of the "Joe's Big Board" feature on TopDrawerSoccer.com.

Each Thursday throughout the season, TopDrawerSoccer.com writer Joe Mauceri will provide an updated list of the top of the nation's top pro prospects from the college ranks, as well as notes and evaluations of the top players, teams and matches in a feature entitled Joe's Big Board.

An All-Missouri Valley Conference selection at two different positions the last two seasons, Gaul debuts at No. 77 on Mauceri's list of the top 100 senior professional prospects.  After moving from a backline spot to forward midway through his junior season in 2010, Gaul earned first-team all-league and NSCAA All-Midwest Region honors after sharing The Valley regular-season lead with 12 goals.  His seven-game point-scoring streak after making the move to the top of the Bradley attack helped propel the Braves to the State Farm MVC Tournament title and the program's fifth appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2000.  The 6-foot-4 forward is Bradley's active leader with 20 career goals and 49 career points.
