The 2019 John Mackey Award winner as the nation's best tight end, Bryant amassed 2,137 yards and 16 touchdowns over his impressive four-year career. The 2019 season, which culminated in an Owls' CUSA Championship and a Boca Raton Bowl victory, saw Bryant earn first-team All-American distinction from the AFCA, Associated Press, FWAA, Sporting News and Walter Camp – one of just 16 players nationally named a unanimous All-American that year. The native of Macon, Ga., remains the only Mackey Award winner to come from outside the power conferences. Drafted in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, Bryant was an NFL All-Rookie pick by the Pro Football Writers Association. Bryant began his college career as a CUSA All-Freshman pick in 2016. In 2017, while helping the Owls win a CUSA Championship and the Boca Raton Bowl, he was named second-team All-CUSA. His junior season in 2018 saw Bryant selected to the All-CUSA Academic Team, along with a being a first All-CUSA pick and a second-team All-American selection by PFF. Bryant earned his undergraduate degree from FAU in 2021 and is a six-year NFL veteran now playing for the Houston Texans.
