Solid Tackling LB with Instincts for Eastern Kentucky
Gavin Bryant, a 6-2, 230-pound inside linebacker for the Eastern Kentucky Colonels, showcases elite tackling (rated 9/10 by 247Sports) and striking ability, paired with strong instincts (8/10) from his brief Tennessee stint where he notched career highs of 2 tackles and 1 forced fumble vs. Western Carolina in 2015. A high school standout from Jackson, Ala., his reactive quickness and athleticism make him a reliable run-stuffer, though limited college production suggests he's a gritty, team-first defender—perfect fit for programs needing blue-collar intensity over splashy stats.
