The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder from Battle Ground Academy in Franklin, Tenn., is rated the No. 141 quarterback in the country and No. 70 player from Tennessee in the Class of 2027, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

Bryan broke his collarbone on Oct. 16 to end his season. He was 114-of-155 passing (73.5%) for 2,006 yards, 30 touchdowns and three interceptions in a spread offense.

Battle Ground coach Bobby Bentley told the Athens Banner-Herald that Bryan, a pocket passer, has a “very good” arm.

“He understands spatial awareness in the passing game,” said Bentley, who was an offensive assistant under current Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo when both were at South Carolina in 2020. “A team leader in the locker room, the epitome of what a quarterback represents on and off the field.”

Bryan was a backup as a junior in 2025, when Battle Ground won the TSSAA Division II-AA state title.

He chose the Bulldogs over offers from Austin Peay, East Tennessee State, North Alabama, UT Martin, Arkansas State, Tennessee Tech and Eastern Kentucky, according to reports.
