Hunter Bryant Earns John Mackey Tight End Of The Week

by Jeff Wright, posted in Football

The Washington Huskies received some exciting news this week on the national scale after its victory of the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.

Junior tight end Hunter Bryant was named the John Mackey Tight End Of The Week after his stellar performance against Hawaii.

Bryant finished the game with 5 catches for 115 yards and 1 TD.  His longest catch of the day was for 47-yards which ignited the Huskies to their first score of the game.

Throughout the first three games of the season so far, Bryant has led the Huskies in receptions in every single game.

He has emerged as junior quarterback Jacob Eason‘s top and most reliable target in the passing game.

What makes Bryant so difficult to defend is his hybrid athleticism and physicality in both the passing and blocking game.

On the season, Bryant is leading the Husky receiving corps with 15 catches for 236 yards and 1 TD.  He is averaging 78.7 yards per game and 15.7 yards per catch.

Bryant was named to the preseason Mackey Award watch list before the season began is definitely living up to the hype.
