Twice a University of Cincinnati Bearcat and a graduate as of last weekend, quarterback Ben Bryant will take his final college snaps as a Northwestern Wildcat. The sixth-year player made his announcement via Twitter Wednesday afternoon:
"Thank you Cincinnati for all you have done for me. You will always be home. Thank you Coach Fitz for this incredible opportunity. Let's get to work."
Bryant had been in the transfer portal for two weeks and initially left open the option to return to new coach Scott Satterfield's squad. That ended with Wednesday's announcement that he would return to his home state of Illinois.
