Fast, aggressive linebacker with a nose for the ball
Brandon Bryant is a young Portland State linebacker whose calling card is speed, aggression, and natural trigger-and-hit ability; the Vikings’ staff described him as a “very fast, aggressive player” who “has a nose for the ball” and delivers a real strike. He entered Portland State as a 2024 signee from Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, where he produced big-play production and earned two-time All-League and All-CIF honors. That profile makes him an intriguing fit for a defense that values downhill energy, special-teams toughness, and upside more than empty measurables.
