a tackle-hungry linebacker who once lived in opposing backfields
In the 2017 season, Lafayette LB Brandon Bryant was a true stat-sheet wrecking ball, leading the team with 133 tackles and ranking third nationally in tackles per game (12.1), while also adding 7.5 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks. His calling card was relentless pursuit, high-volume production, and the kind of sideline-to-sideline energy coaches love because it turns defensive snaps into chaos for offenses. He also battled through an ACL injury in 2016, which adds some toughness/return-to-form context to his profile.
