Bryce Profitt brings versatile, local-walk-on grit to Akron’s receiver room
Bryce Profitt is a former Highland High School standout who came to Akron as a preferred walk-on, and his profile suggests a versatile, hard-nosed athlete with real football instincts; in his 2021 Akron season he appeared in 11 games, earned one start, and even contributed on kickoff returns, which hints at value beyond a pure WR role. His background as a QB/CB in high school adds positional flexibility, and that kind of do-everything competitiveness is exactly what can make a depth-chart player useful on special teams and in a program’s culture.
