James Bryant seeks to transfer to UMass

James Bryant is seeking to transfer to UMass from the University of Miami.

Bryant is a 6-3 250 pd LB/FB who has earned three letters for the Hurricanes .

He was a highly rated high school player who was a Prepstar All-American, US Army All-American and many other All-Star teams. Described by at least one recruiting service as, "the nation's most physically imposing linebacker".

This was brought to my attention over on the UMass Football message board by search engine wizard "Rocks22".

UPDATE: There's been a lot of comment on the message board about the Miami-FIU brawl. This film clip shows Bryant's bow to the crowd that led to a unsportsmanlike penalty. It looks to me like he bowed to the crowd and did not taunt the FIU bench or players.
