One of USC’s top receivers from last season is preparing to sit out the rest of this one. Junior Gary Bryant Jr. is expected to redshirt, coach Lincoln Riley said. Bryant, who had two receptions in three weeks, is free to play in one more game while retaining his ability to redshirt.
The decision to sit Bryant for the rest of the season is a surprising turn for a receiver who scored seven touchdowns and tallied 579 yards last season. He also served as one of USC’s top returners. But with a new fleet of transfer receivers, opportunities for Bryant have dried up.
