Bryant is a former 3-star prospect that was rostered for the Hoosiers from 2016-2019. He was awarded the Corby Davis Memorial Award, given to IU’s best defensive back, in 2019.

Bryant didn’t record many statistics in his first two seasons with IU but was a rotational piece and special team regular. In his junior season he managed 38 tackles and his first forced fumble and a couple of interceptions.

In his senior season he was tied for second on the team with 55 tackles. He recorded his first fumble recovery and several games in a row with 10 or more tackles. He won Big Ten defensive player of the week twice.
