Former Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant is getting close to making a transfer decision, as the former Tigers’ QB will be announcing his commitment on Tuesday night.
Bryant has interest from several major programs, but he’s narrowed his list of potential destinations to five schools.
The former Clemson quarterback visited Auburn over the weekend and the Tigers are on his list.
Bryant told the Opelika-Auburn News on Sunday that he will officially choose from Auburn, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Missouri and North Carolina.
“Just getting up here, they just wanted me to get down here for the weekend and see Auburn from this standpoint,” Bryant said. “Of course, they didn’t have a game. But getting around the players and seeing what they have to say about the program, how do they like it here, their pros and cons — it was pretty good, getting around those guys.
“Just now, I’m getting ready to make my decision. It’s really good to have this visit. Now, I can feel like I can take a lot from it.”
Two schools might be standing out for Bryant, though.
Missouri visited with former Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant earlier this week, according to reports, and sources told The Star that Arkansas had an in-home visit with him on Thursday. He heads to Auburn this weekend before deciding on a school early next week. It appears to be a two-horse race between Missouri and Auburn based on everything I’m hearing.
Now for those who have brought it up, it’s been a heck of a week at Auburn. First we thought Gus Malzahn was getting fired and the school was prepared to pay his $32 million buyout. Now it appears he’s staying but is under pressure for a huge season next year to keep his job. Does it really matter to Bryant? Well, to quote Derek Dooley on National Signing Day last year, “We need them more than they need us,” when referring to recruits and coaches. Malzahn needs Bryant more than visa versa.
Bryant will be revealing his decision tomorrow night. Stay tuned.
