Kentucky commit Ty Bryant shines for Frederick Douglass on opening night
Lexington (Ky.) Frederick Douglass is quickly becoming a feeder program for Kentucky football. Alums Jager Burton and Dane Key are expected to play big roles for the Wildcats this fall. There will be a former teammate joining them next season.
Three-star defensive back Ty Bryant (6-0, 175) committed to Kentucky last August and then reclassified to the 2023 class. The legacy recruit has played a lot of high school football, and he opened his senior campaign with a boom on Friday night.
Frederick Douglass hosted Bryan Station to get the 2022 year started and cruised to a 52-7 victory in front of a sold-out crowd. Ty Bryant had his fingerprints all over the game with a 7-yard touchdown run and a long punt return to provide one of the biggest plays in Week 1.

In the 2023 recruiting cycle, Kentucky is focused on rebuilding its secondary. Four-star Avery Stuart might be the gem of the class while top-500 recruit Jaremiah Anglin will bring some impressive traits to Lexington. However, Ty Bryant is often the forgotten man in the equation. The safety prospect is a multi-dimensional player at the high school level with a strong pedigree.
Recent Frederick Douglass alums have been quick contributors at Kentucky. Ty Bryant is looking to be the next.
