UW-commit Hunter Bryant leads young Eastside Catholic

He committed to UW in April after amassing 1,137 yards on 48 catches with 17 touchdowns last season.

SAMMAMISH — There are five reasons why it’s stunning Hunter Bryant is able to race past defenders, stiff-arm cornerbacks and make one-handed catches in the end zone:

One dislocated ankle, two fractures in his leg, a fractured back and a hamstring avulsion where the muscle pulled a piece of bone away from Bryant’s pelvis. All of the injuries happened within a year, beginning with the ankle at the end of Bryant’s eighth-grade football season in October 2012.

“It was just so random,” said the Eastside Catholic senior of when he slipped on grass as he walked to the school bus after class.
