Bryant’s steady DB Olatunde Mkparu brings veteran ball skills and reliability
In the 2025 season, Olatunde Mkparu was Bryant’s definition of consistency, playing the most snaps on defense and finishing with 54 tackles, 1 interception, and 4 pass breakups; his career totals also show 4 interceptions and 8 pass breakups, which points to a proven playmaker in coverage[1][6][11]. At 6-foot-1 and about 210 pounds, he combines size with experience, and Bryant listed him as a senior/graduated-state defensive back entering 2026[1][4][5]. If a defense wants a dependable, physical DB who can stay on the field and make the routine plays without fuss, Mkparu is a strong fit—low drama, high trust, and a little bit of ball-hawk seasoning[6][8].
