Overview:
Jarrid Bryant, a 6-4, 185-pound wide receiver from Salisbury Prep School in Salisbury, Connecticut, becomes the 22nd student-athlete to sign a National Letter Of Intent to study and play football at Arizona State University.

Bryant originally attended Corona (Calif.) Centennial High School where he was a star basketball player.  He did not play football as a senior in high school.  Teammates from Centennial High School at ASU include current players Ryan Bass, Shelly Lyons and Brandon McGee and fellow 2009 signing classmates Vontaze Burfict and William Sutton

Scouting Report/Verdict:
Tall, versatile athlete...starred at cornerback and wide receiver for the Knights...has excellent speed and height, with the ability to cause significant mismatch problems for opposing defenders...moved to Connecticut in 2006 from Corona, Calif., where he attended Centennial High School with several current Sun Devils...also a very talented basketball player...will be the tallest wide receiver on the team, helping ASU replace 6-foot-4 wide receiver Michael Jones.. caught 10 passes for 140 and two touchdowns in 2008 while playing in a run oriented offense...an incredibly talented returns specialist, he scored five times on kickoff returns and three times on punt returns in 2008...has the ability to make a game-breaking impact each time he touches the ball...

The Decision:
Chose ASU over Boston College, California and Kansas.  "Attending ASU is a wonderful opportunity and I'm ready for it," says Bryant.

Really not sure what we have here, he signed late, did not play football hardly and does not have much info out there about him.

Expect a redshirting.

Confused

I’ve heard Bryant didn’t play football his Sr. year of HS — then everything I’ve read about him has 2008 stats. Something doesn’t make sense….

Yeah, i noticed that discrepancy too.

Not sure if they really mean 2007 stats or what.

most sources probably glossed over that year off, thinking it was an error. I bet it was so unusual that they didn’t think it was possible that he didn’t play in ’08. Their loss. This guy has some speed.
