Davrez Bryant came to FSU as a defensive end project after only playing one year of high school football. He measured in at 6’3 250 pounds and carried a two-star player rating of 79.5.

Bryant never played a down of football at FSU after questions about the high school he attended and he was deemed ineligible. Bryant was apparently “homeless” as late as 2015 according to the article linked below that details some of what happened in his situation.

The reason Bryant wasn’t able to continue at FSU is below:

“The NCAA didn’t recognize the AMIkids’ coursework.  And, the alternative school wasn’t able to produce hard copies of his actual work the NCAA had requested”, AMIkids representative Jordan Meyer said according to the News-Journal Online.

Grade  – N/A

My Thoughts

I’m not sure Bryant would have ever played meaningful snaps at FSU, but it was sad to see that he has not been able to finish his college career based on the school’s coursework not being credible of some sort. Not to mention the NCAA wouldn’t provide context to why the coursework didn’t count.
