Coleman Bryson brings size, versatility, and special-teams bite to UNC’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Coleman Bryson gave North Carolina a sturdy, multi-use defensive back who logged 17 tackles and 2 passes defended while bringing proven special-teams value from Minnesota.[6][10][14] At 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, he fits the “big DB” mold, with experience at safety and a reputation for handling coverage and kicking-game duties with consistency rather than flash.[10][11][9] He’s the kind of transfer who may not light up a stat sheet, but coaches love the frame, positional flexibility, and reliable, no-nonsense edge.
