The next Big Kat? UCF’s Bryant now with Cowboys working under Lett, Durde, Quinn

The name is familiar, but is the game worthy of a spot on the roster? Tyler Browning (@DiabeitcTyler) dives into the tape of the Auburn Tiger turned UCF Golden Knight.

A continued walk through the Dallas Cowboys’ undrafted free agent class brings an intriguing name, but is there intriguing play to go along with it? UCF edge rusher Big Cat Bryant started off his career at Auburn, after earning 4-star honors coming out of high school. He was selected to compete in the Under Armour High School All-American game and his career at Auburn was highlighted by earning 2nd-team All-SEC honors and being selected as a team captain in 2020.

His then head coach, Gus Malzahn, left Auburn to become the head coach at UCF, and Bryant followed him as a graduate transfer. Bryant started in all 13 games for the Golden Knights, and earned first-team All-AAC honors from the league’s coaches and Phil Steele. He led the team with six sacks and 13 tackles for loss. The transfer to UCF seemed to work in Bryant’s favor, although he didn’t hear his name called over draft weekend.

Was that the other 31 NFL teams’ mistake? A look into the film to see what the Cowboys have invested in.
