Two former Florida Atlantic players are optimistic about the Owls’ defense in new coach Lane Kiffin’s first season in Boca Raton.
Atlanta Falcons safety Sharrod Neasman and New York Jets defensive lineman Brandin Bryant each completed their rookie seasons in the NFL after playing together for four years at FAU. At a volunteer event at the Lauderhill Boys and Girls Club on Friday, each spoke about some of their former teammates.
Bryant said the FAU defensive line could surprise people in 2017, especially redshirt junior end Hunter Snyder.
“Hunter Synder, I think he’s going to be a beast,” Bryant said.
