He played in all 12 games in 2011, started nine times while battling through a shoulder issue that finally caused him to miss the regular season finale at Michigan. Ranked in a tie for third in the Big Ten with eight pass break-ups, and his eight total passes defended (pass breakups and interceptions) ranked 13th in the league. Was tied for second among Buckeyes in passes defended and was also third on the team with 68 tackles. Bryant had a fine junior campaign in 2012 that saw him earn second-team all-Big Ten Conference honors. His 70 tackles trailed only teammate Ryan Shazier's 115, and his 13 passes defended (12 pass breakups and one interception) ranked sixth in the Big Ten.
