Spurs' Carter Bryant honors family member with jersey number selection
Rookie Carter Bryant will begin his career in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs with a new jersey number after wearing No. 9 as a freshman last season at Arizona. Bryant wore it in various events before joining the Wildcats, such as the McDonald's All-American Game and the Pangos All-American Camp. He was forced to change it upon joining the Spurs, with it retired to honor Hall of Famer Tony Parker. The 14th pick also wore a few other numbers, though each one was taken on the team. He opted to go with No. 11, which is the same number his uncle wore. "I wanted nine," Bryant said. "Obviously, Tony Parker has nine retired. (De'Aaron) Fox has four. Steph Castle has five. Dylan (Harper) got two. I was a Kawhi fan, so I was trying to get the two. Vic (Wembanyama) got one, so then I went through all of the numbers I liked and which ones looked good. My uncle ended up wearing No. 11 playing pro volleyball overseas, so I went with 11." Bryant helped the Wildcats to the Sweet 16, averaging 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and one assist on 37.1% shooting from 3-point range. He scored in double figures five times, including a season-high-tying 14 points, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks on Jan. 27. The 19-year-old logged six appearances with the Spurs in summer league, averaging 7.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 assists on 28.6% shooting from the field. He wrapped up his stay with a 16-point, five-rebound performance on July 17. Bryant has ingratiated himself well within the local community after volunteering at a couple of events this offseason. The team was excited to add him and is eager to watch him hit the court.

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans breaks down addition of new TE Harrison Bryant
Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans might be sad to lose a player in wide receiver John Metchie, but he's excited to see what new tight end Harrison Bryant can bring to the offense. 'Seeing Harrison, he made some plays against us when he was with the Browns,' Ryans said following the acquisition of Bryant on Monday. 'He made a big play versus us. So you see a guy who've very capable of making plays. Very excited to just add him to our roster and let him get in our room.' Of course, Ryans remembers Bryant impressed during the wild-card round with the Cleveland Browns in 2023. The former John Mackey Award winner caught a 47-yard pass from quarterback Joe Flacco before dashing down the field to put Cleveland near the red zone. The drive ended in one of the Browns' two scoring drives before Houston secured a 45-14 win behind a record-setting day from C.J. Stroud. Last season, Bryant spent time backing up Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer with the Las Vegas Raiders, catching 10 passes for just under 100 yards. Over six seasons, Bryant has totaled 98 career receptions for 877 yards and 10 touchdowns. He's expected to compete for the No. 3 tight end role, which should be the same for him in Houston now with Brevin Jordan out for the season with a lower-body injury. 'Harrison, he'll come in and compete,' Ryans said. 'We have a lot of good tight ends, so we're excited to see him just pop in and compete. 'I'm excited to see what he does here over the next week.' The Texans close out the preseason on Saturday against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. Following the return, the Texans will trim the roster ahead of Week 1's showdown against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on Sept. 7.

No. 2 QB Names the Best College in the State of Texas
No. 2 QB Names the Best College in the State of Texas originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Texas Longhorns are not the only school in the state, with the Texas A&M Aggies, Texas Tech Red Raiders and TCU Horned Frogs also present. However, 2027 quarterback Kavian Bryant made sure to set the record straight about which program is the best in the Lone Star State. He said that Texas was the top university in the state, per Rivals' Steve Wiltfong. Bryant would be a welcome addition to the Longhorns' 2027 class, as Texas only has one commit thus far, from four-star edge rusher Taven Epps. The Longhorns already have a slight advantage, as Bryant hails from Palestine, Texas. 'The opportunity is extremely big,' Bryant has said of the Longhorns. 'You know, Texas is the college here in Texas, and for me to earn it is truly a blessing. The Longhorns coaching staff is great, great energy, and vibes were off the charts, and Longhorns history has been great, so yes, the camp was great and I'm blessed to receive the offer.' Bryant is the No. 2 quarterback and No. 39 overall prospect in the Rivals Industry Rankings for the 2027 class. Multiple Texas schools are in the race for Bryant, with Texas A&M leading at 28.9% in the Rivals Recruiting Prediction Machine. The Aggies are followed by Texas Tech (25.3%), the SMU Mustangs (11.4%) and Texas (9.5%). The Longhorns are also making a decent push to flip Georgia Bulldogs commit Justice Fitzpatrick, who is the brother of NFL star Minkah Fitzpatrick. Current quarterback Arch Manning is primed to start after being the backup for the last two seasons. Manning's name has been thrown around a lot in the offseason, but Urban Meyer believed that the young quarterback would face a ton of pressure in 2025. Meyer stated that Manning will face the most pressure of any quarterback in recent memory. Manning and Texas face the Ohio State Buckeyes in the season opener on August 30 at Noon ET on story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 9, 2025, where it first appeared.
