Harrison Bryant didn't plan for his 2020 NFL draft preparation to take him back to Georgia so soon. Originally, he expected to spend the month leading up to the draft training at FAU, where he made a name for himself nationally. But the novel coronavirus pandemic, and the ensuing closure of the Owls' facilities, took the tight end back to where his football career began. Bryant, a Gray, Ga. native, has spent the past few weeks staying at a lake house in central Georgia. He's been working out and running routes at his old high school, John Milledge Academy, with the help of Cody Mahler, the football team's strength coach and special teams coordinator.

Outside of the adjustment in switching training locations and not being able to have in-person visits, Bryant said the pre-draft process hasn't changed too much for him. He was able to meet with teams in person during the Senior Bowl in January and NFL combine in February. He has since been meeting with teams through Zoom video teleconferencing. Bryant said he wasn't surprised when FAU's Pro Day, which was scheduled for April 2, was nixed when the NFL canceled all in-person visits with draft prospects in March. But he empathized with his former teammates who didn't have the opportunities to showcase their talents through multiple scouting opportunities like he had. "All I was going to do at Pro Day anyway was run routes and catch balls," Bryant said. "Knowing that all the others guys - Brandon [Walton], Rashad [Smith] - and all of them, didn't get to go to the combine and get the opportunity to showcase their talents really sucks." - Sun-Sentinel

03/05/20 - Michael Irvin II, rSr/2022, Florida Atlantic, 6-3, 235 (DS#999 TE) + More +

University of Miami tight end Michael Irvin II, the son of former Hurricanes great and Pro Football Hall of fame member Michael Irvin, is transferring for his final season of college football. UM confirmed the news to the Miami Herald on Thursday morning. Irvin II is no longer on the UM roster. It's hard to blame him for wanting to transfer. Ahead of him is top tight end Brevin Jordan, a possible future NFL first-rounder, as well as extremely talented backup Will Mallory. Irvin was hardly going to get real playing time in his only season left in college. Irvin, a redshirt senior, started three games last season. His career numbers: 11 catches for 111 yards in 31 games. He played in 13 games and had two catches in 2019 for 33 yards. - Miami Herald

12/21/19 - Chris Robison, rSr/2022, Florida Atlantic, 6-0, 200 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Chris Robison passed for 305 yards and two touchdowns and Florida Atlantic scored two touchdowns in a 24-second span late in the first half to take control on the way to beating SMU 52-28 in the Boca Raton Bowl on Saturday night. It was FAU's first game since Lane Kiffin left the Owls to take over at Ole Miss — and the Conference USA champions, playing on their home field, didn't miss a beat under interim coach Glenn Spencer. James Charles ran for two touchdowns for FAU (11-3), which tied a school record for wins in a season and improved to 4-0 in bowl games. The first of Charles' scores came with a minute left in the first half to break a 14-14 tie, Robison found Brandon Robinson for another touchdown 24 seconds later after an SMU interception and the Owls were off and running.

Rashad Smith ran a fumble back for a score in the third quarter to help FAU blow the game open. Robison completed 27 of 37 passes for FAU. Shane Buchele completed 27 for 47 passes for 303 yards for SMU (10-3). The Mustangs were seeking their first bowl win since 2012, this game coming a day after they gave coach Sonny Dykes - who has gone 15-11 in his first two seasons with the team, including the 2017 Frisco Bowl loss - a contract extension. Xavier Jones had a pair of rushing touchdowns for SMU. James Proche, who entered as the NCAA's active career leader in receptions and receiving yards, had nine catches - giving him 301 for his career - for 86 yards and a score for the Mustangs. - AP College Football
