Bryant has returned for another season with the Hoosiers in the bull position. Last season he started all 12 games at the position. Bryant totaled 16 tackles with 17 being solo as well as 1.5 tackles for loss. He also had two QB hits against Michigan.

Bryant also had some playing time during his sophomore and junior season as well. During his junior season he recorded seven tackles with two pass breakups. Bryant had bigger numbers during his sophomore season as he had 25 tackles with a forced fumble as well as a fumble recovery. 

Bryant comes from Texas as his team went 55-5 and had a lot of success during the state playoffs during his time there. This led to his freshman season where he totaled 10 tackles with one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Bryant will look to continue his time at the bull position this year and bring some veteran presence to the defense.
