Among the host of Miami area prospects to pick up an offer from Clemson this month was four-star running back Kyshaun Bryan.
\nRanked by 247 as the No. 8 overall running back in the class of 2017, Bryan was one of two players from Plantation-American Heritage offered by Brent Venables, during his late-month run through South Florida.
\n\u201cIt was a big surprise, because I didn\u2019t know they were looking at me, but my coaches did tell me a little bit something about them,\u201d Bryan told
\nTheClemsonInsider. \u201cI was excited about it. That\u2019s a big offer.\u201d
\nThe hurry-up, no-huddle offense that Chad Morris introduced to Clemson is intriguing.
\n\u201cI know they\u2019re trying to pick back up and I know they love to run a fast-tempo offense. I love that,\u201d Bryan said. \u201cWe do that here at my high school, so I think that\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d
\nAt some point along the way, he wants to visit and see Clemson for himself.
\n\u201cI would love to. I would love to see the school and see what they have to offer,\u201d Bryan said. \u201cI\u2019m going to talk to my parents about it and see what I can do, because the trip from down here to up there is kind of difficult with money and stuff like that.\u201d
\nThe three big programs in the state of Florida have offered. So have Michigan, UNC, Ohio State and West Virginia. Bryan hasn\u2019t left the state for a college visit.
\n\u201cDuring the summer, I\u2019m going to head to some schools out-of-state, maybe one, maybe two, I don\u2019t know yet,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve got to see how that\u2019s going to work with my parents. But I (visited) UF, FSU and Miami, for right now.\u201d
\nAnd it\u2019s a little too early in the process for him to start naming favorites.
\n\u201cI\u2019m taking every school into consideration, but there are some schools sticking out. I hope I get, probably in the summer, I\u2019m going to release a little something, from top to bottom,\u201d he said. \u201cRight now, I\u2019m just taking everything in with the schools that have interest in me.\u201d
\nAs a sophomore, Bryan appeared in just three regular season games because of an injury. But he returned just in time for the playoff run, totaling 96 carries for 826 with seven touchdowns last season.<\/p>\n
