Expert Analysis
JR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Bryant continues to impress with her quality on the wing. The Ohio Elite standout had a strong showing at the ECNL Playoffs in Washington. She scored the opening goal in the win over FC Dallas for her side. When she is in the open field, she can’t be caught. The winger has improved defensively and is an impactful two-way player.

Bryant is a winger on the Ohio Elite SA 08 ECNL team. She is from Lexington, Kentucky and a track star in that state (she is an All-American in the 4×400 and a three-time state champion). She is included in the Ohio rankings because her club team is based in Ohio. Bryant is a speedster on the wing. She can get behind the defense and does really well in creating numerical advantages with the center forward thanks to her pace and timing of her runs. Bryant is strong on the ball and can hold off defenders too – which suggest she could play in a 4-4-2 just as well as she does in the 4-3-3. She is comfortable on either foot so she can play on either side of the formation. She defends well and utilizes her pace as she sits off the defender and invites the pass to the outside back so she can close in a hurry and force mistakes. Bryant is one to watch in this group as she has been a key player for the successful start to the season for Ohio Elite.
