Bryant's dream of playing Division 1 football comes true at MVSU

ITTA BENA, Mississippi -- When thinking about playing college football, Lucas Bryant’s approach followed the adage ‘go big or go home.’

The Jefferson County High School senior offensive lineman decided if he couldn’t play Division 1 football, he wouldn’t play at all.

When D1-AA Mississippi Valley State University came calling this spring, Bryant’s lofty goal began to unfold in front of his eyes.

“It just all seems like its going to work out for me,” Bryant said at a signing last Wednesday. “I was planning on not playing if it wasn’t division one.”

The 6’4” 360-pound lineman was recruited by a senior player of the MSVU squad and then received his only Division 1 offer from the Delta Devils.

Bryant has been a force on the Jefferson County offensive line for the past two seasons, and he hopes to continue that level of play in MSVU’s Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) this fall.
