Four-Star LB likes Big 10

Reading, Pa. linebacker James Bryant has more offers than he knows what to do with. However, the 6-foot-3, 240-pound linebacker has a few favorites. Who are they?

"I like the Big 10 a lot, so Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa and Ohio State are high on my list," said Bryant, who wants to trim his list down to five schools to visit by the end of his senior season. "I also like Virginia, Boston College, Pitt and some other schools, but I don't really have to narrowed down that much yet."

Bryant, who is also a standout running back in high school, is looking for a few things in a program.

"Comfort level will be important, so I'm looking forward to my official visits and to talking to coaches more as my season starts," he said. "I also want to play early if possible and play for a team that will win games and compete with the best. I haven't really followed any particular programs that closely, so I'm keeping an open mind."

Bryant has offers from all his favorites. He made 132 tackles last season while rushing for 984 yards on offense. Will he be influenced by the recruiting classes of schools by the time he decides?

"I'll look at who else is going where, but it won't be a final factor," he said. "I won't decide until around January or February, so I should know who has committed where, but the most important thing will be how comfortable I feel at a school."
