Kentucky Football is mourning one of the stars of the 1976 SEC Championship season. Former All-American offensive tackle Warren Bryant passed away Monday in Smyrna, Ga. He was 65 years old.
Bryant played for Kentucky from 1973-76 under Fran Curci. In his senior season, he helped lead the Wildcats to a 9-3 record and a share of the Southeastern Conference championship. The ’76 season included wins against No. 20 Penn State, No. 16 LSU, No. 15 Florida, and was capped with a 21-0 win over No. 19 North Carolina in the Peach Bowl.
During his career, Bryant was named first-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association and the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
