Gary Bryant III brings proven tackle production and rangy, all-around linebacker value to Syracuse
Gary Bryant III is a **high-output linebacker** with proven production: in the 2024 season at South Dakota, he posted **103 tackles**, plus **2 interceptions**, **4 tackles for loss**, a **forced fumble**, and **3 pass breakups**, earning **FCS All-American** and **All-MVFC** honors. He fits best as a tone-setting middle linebacker who can diagnose quickly, finish plays, and contribute in coverage, not just stop the run. The main question is translation to the ACC, but his résumé suggests a competitive, disruptive defender with real three-down upside.
