Austin Bryant sat down for his interview with the media Tuesday, carrying himself like a player who isn’t at all nervous heading into second-ranked Clemson’s primetime showdown at Texas A&M on Saturday night.
The Clemson defensive end hummed a tune as he awaited questions from reporters, then interrupted the first question with a polite greeting for the media.
“First of all, I want to say how are y’all doing today? Y’all doing good?” Bryant asked. “Good. I’m doing great. I had class today and I’m feeling good, talking to y’all.”
Early in his career, Bryant may have been nervous or anxious entering a marquee game on the road in a hostile environment like the one Clemson will play in on Saturday at Kyle Field — the largest stadium in Texas with an official capacity of 102,995.
