DJ Bryant brings steady backcourt experience and disruptive defense to UTA
DJ Bryant is a seasoned guard for UT Arlington whose calling card has been defense, toughness, and experience rather than big scoring bursts; in the 2024-25 season, he appeared in NCAA stat tracking with a 41.1% field-goal rate, 24.4% from three, and 69.8% at the line, which suggests an energy guard who can contribute but won’t be a pure volume shooter[6]. Earlier UT Arlington notes highlighted his ability to pile up steals and make winning plays, including a career-high five steals in one game, which fits a high-motor, gritty backcourt profile[12].
