Bryce West

Growing up, Bryce West always felt he belonged on the biggest stage of football. That belief grew largely because West was one of the top youth football players in Cleveland. “A lot of people told me I was going to grow up and be great,” West told the Columbus Dispatch. “I’ve just had to prove them right. I can do it all. I play with no fear.” His coach – Ohio football coaching legend Tedd Ginn Sr. – says West’s done that and then some. Ginn started watching West when he was 8 years old, and even though he had to still learn a lot when he arrived at Glenville High School, it was clear that West was special. “Athletically, he’s a freak,” Ginn said. “I think once he gets into a program that can really teach him and give him all the understanding about football… I think that his potential is off the roof. He’s still coming. It takes a lot to be great. That’s what I try to tell him all the time.”
