Scouting Notes
- Former No. 1 overall HS recruit, but Bryan Bresee never realized his potential.
- Injuries and his sister’s untimely passing have really prevented him from being able to progress and develop the way scouts have hoped.
- Big, tough and physical, Bresee has tons of unrealized raw power.
- 2022 tape was the worst of all, as he showed nearly no reliable traits or dominant tools.
- Got turned around by blockers way too often.
- Lacks quickness and burst.
- Unrefined, needs to take major strides in his technique and motor to ever make any NFL impact.
- Tackling was extremely up-and-down. There were moments of elite arm tackles, and moments of horrible misses.
Short Summary
Bryan Bresee is one of the most unfortunate stories of unrealized potential in College Football. Whether it’s due to off-the-field occurrences or on-the-field injuries, Bresee never got the chance to develop into the player we all wanted him to be.
He still has the tools to eventually be a good NFL player, even a great one, but there are lots of questions to ask first. Assuming he will come in and immediately assume the form we all want him to seems unrealistic. Hopefully, Bryan Bresee gets drafted to a team that has the coaching in place to get him there.
Scouting Card Key
- percentage numbers in the Player Info and Combine Stats sections – This refers to the percentile that number belongs to among all players at his position, going back nearly a decade.
- GP –Games Played
- TFL’s –Tackles for Loss
- FF –Forced Fumbles
- Snap% – Percentage of team’s defensive snaps where the player was on the field.
- Missed Tackles and MT% – Missed tackle rate. Percentiles of these stats are inverse; the higher the number, the lower the percentile. Naturally, players with more playing time will rack up higher numbers, even in the rate category.
- IDL Snap% – Percentage of snaps played on the defensive inside (between the tackles).
- EDGE Snap% – Percentage of snaps played on the defensive edge (over or outside the tackle). This stat generally points to the athletic ability and positional dominance of a player. The more capable he is, the more time his coaches will plan for him to be on the edge.
- reaction –Reactionary speed.
