Like Brad Smith, Kavian Bryant is an elite athlete at the quarterback position who excels as a playmaker with the ball in his hands. Both were productive dual threat quarterbacks and basketball players at the high school level. Bryant is more of an established national prospect at the same stage. 

Elite athlete at quarterback who thrives as an improvisational playmaker. Measured at around 6-foot-2, 190 pounds with a 9.5-inch hand prior to his senior season. Added height and mass from his junior to senior year. Tests as the top athlete among blue-chip quarterbacks in the 2027 cycle, consistently ripping off 40 times under 4.6 seconds. Shows a strong downfield arm and is able to generate plus velocity on throws to the intermediate area of the field when mechanics are aligned. Shows the ability to take the top off of defenses as a deep passer. Excels as a playmaker. Has a backyard football style and is capable of turning nothing into something. Keeps eyes downfield and operates with the peripheral vision to identify rushers. Tough for defenders to corral. Dangerous scrambler when he decides to take off. Has been one of the more productive quarterback prospects in the 2027 cycle, dating back to his freshman season. Completed 72.6% of his passes for 3,407 yards and 37 touchdowns against 1 interception as a senior. Also rushed for 740 yards and 7 touchdowns. Doubles as an elite high school basketball player who averaged 26.4 points per game as a junior while leading his team to a state title appearance. Needs refinement as a passer, given he spends much of his year playing basketball. Has a circular throwing motion with an over the top delivery. Has some rigidity in his delivery and comfortable throwing out of one arm slot and will need to clean up his footwork. Does not play top competition and benefits from huge passing windows. Viewed as a high upside prospect who should benefit from the coaching he’ll receive in college.
