Ty Bryant named SEC Co-Freshman of the Week
Adding to the excitement around Kentucky Football‘s win at Mississippi State over the weekend, today, a freshman Wildcat earned one of the SEC’s weekly awards for his performance in Starkville.
Ty Bryant, an early enrollee in the true freshman class, was named the Southeastern Conference’s Co-Freshman of the Week on Monday. Bryant shares this week’s honor with Arkansas defensive back Jaylon Braxton, who scored a defensive touchdown in the Razorbacks’ first-ever win in Gainesville, Florida. Bryant is the co-winner with Braxton for recording eight tackles in Kentucky’s first win since 2008 in Starkville, Mississippi.
An unexpected starter at safety, Bryant had 12 tackles in 65 snaps last week against Tennessee. He was forced into action due to injuries to Jalen Geiger and Jordan Lovett, and the Lexington native made the most of that opportunity.
Mark Stoops named him Kentucky’s Defensive Player of the Week a week ago when Bryant played 65 snaps in the loss to the Vols.
Today, the SEC recognized Bryant for standing out in a second straight game.
