Kentucky becomes latest school to offer 2028 WR Dez Bryant Jr.

Yahoo Sports

Southlake Carroll (Texas) 2028 wide receiver Dez Bryant Jr. is drawing attention from college football programs across the country — and not simply because of his famous name. The son of former NFL All-Pro Dez Bryant picked up his third Power 4 offer on Wednesday, netting one from Kentucky and the new coaching staff under Will Stein.

The Wildcats join Texas A&M and SMU, along with Arkansas State, Texas State and Sacramento State. Bryant Jr. is just now breaking onto the scene as a prospect, but has some impressive athletic markers as a rising junior.

Earlier this spring, the 5-foot-9, 175-pounder recorded a 4. 46-second 40-yard dash and 4. 18 shuttle time at the Under Armour camp in Dallas, Texas.

He also flashed a 9-foot, 2-inch broad jump, which is not far off from a handful of NFL Draft hopefuls at the combine in Indianapolis. Blessed to receive an offer from the University of Kentucky. All Glory to God.
