Dez Bryant's son being recruited should make everyone feel old
For those wondering, yes Dez Bryant Jr is the son of long time Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant. It's almost impossible not to feel old seeing Dez Bryant Jr is being heavily recruited considering how recently we saw his father playing.
Just 6 years ago, Dez Bryant wrapped up his NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens in the 2020 season. Considering the fact that Dez Bryant only spent 10 seasons on an NFL roster, he could still be playing at this point.
Early on in his recruitment, Dez Bryant Jr already has offers from SMU, Texas A&M, Kentucky, Arkansas State, Texas State, and Sacramento State.
This year, Dez Bryant Jr will have a chance to elevate his recruiting status as he takes a step up in competition as he joins Texas powerhouse Southlake Carroll. The school recently sent 3-star wide receiver Brock Boyd to Ohio State where he's already turning heads as a freshman in Spring practices.
Dez Bryant Jr is 5-foot-10, and running a 4.46 40-yard dash at this age is incredible for a wide receiver. As Bryant continues to grow, and impress on the football field, the offers are only going to continue flooding in making him a recruit to follow in the 2028 recruiting class.
