Many expect Bryan to be the first Florida player selected in the upcoming draft, especially since teams are always looking for more defensive linemen.
In three years in Gainesville, Bryan recorded 62 tackles, 10.5 tackles for a loss and 5.5 sacks. He has an interception and two fumble recoveries to his name.
Where he gets selected remains to be seen, but the 6-5, 293-pound lineman is sure to draw plenty of attention in the coming months.
