CBS (120. Austin Bryant: Bryant sets a sturdy edge but is more of a "SAM" linebacker than a pure edge rusher. He's a towering presence, doesn't play low, and is stiff around the corner.

Walterfootball (12. Austin Bryant: (Height: 6-3. Weight: 271. Arm: 34.63. Hand: 9.63.
Projected 40 Time: 4.77.
Projected Round (2019): 3-5.) 4/20/19: In 2018, Bryant had 43 tackles with 14.5 tackles for a loss and eight sacks. He was a solid defender for Clemson, but clearly not of the same caliber as the other three starters on the Tigers' defensive line. Bryant is more of a mid-round talent who could be a contributor as a backup and rotational player. 8/29/18: According to NFL teams' preseason data provided by team sources, Bryant checks in at 6-foot-4, 268 pounds with 34.88-inch arms, 9.13-inch hands, and a wingspan of 82.13 inches. They have him running the 40-yard dash in 4.75 seconds. Bryant was the fourth member of Clemson's super star defensive line in 2017, and he did well cleaning up a lot of the disruption caused by Clelin Ferrell, Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence. On the year, Bryant totaled 8.5 sacks with 50 tackles, 15.5 for a loss, one interception and two forced fumbles. Some sources were high on Bryant, while others say they graded him as late second-day prospect heading into his senior year. Bryant missed eight games for Clemson in 2016. As a result, he had 13 tackles with two sacks on the season. In 2015, he had 23 tackles with 1.5 sacks. Clemson feels that Bryant has a lot of ability and is excited about him for 2018.): https://walterfootball.com/draft2019DE.php

Under-the-Radar Late-Round NFL Draft Prospects to Watch (Austin Bryant, DL, Clemson: On a loaded Clemson defensive front with Clelin Ferrell, Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence, Bryant didn’t get nearly the national attention he may have gotten elsewhere. Bryant is coming off back-to-back seasons 8.5 sacks, which partly came because Clemson’s other stars were swallowing up double-teams, but is still impressive nonetheless. He typically lined up at left end in Clemson’s 4–3 look, but at 6' 4" and 271 pounds he could be an intriguing option as a 3–4 outside linebacker, though having him play in coverage will be a work in progress. Bryant has the frame and athleticism to wreak havoc on the edge; it’ll just take the right coaching staff to refine his rush moves and mold him into a productive pro pass-rusher. On Day 3, betting on high-end physical traits makes sense.) (4-10-19): https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/04/13/2019-nfl-draft-late-round-prospects-brett-rypien-hunter-renfrow

Scouting the National Title Game prospects: Alabama vs. Clemson (Clemson’s Day 3 prospects - This time last year, it was common for Austin Bryant (DE, 6-4, 265) to be mocked in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft — including to the Lions when they ran a 43 scheme — but his week-to-week inconsistencies and inability to set a strong edge will likely push him to Day 3 on the Lions board.)

Scout’s Eye: 2019 CFB National Championship Game (DE Austin Bryant, SR (6-4, 265, 4.78, #7, Day 2): The under heralded Bryant generates great push, shows the ability to fight through the trash and make plays in the trenches. While not quite as explosive as some of his Clemson line mates, which causes him to be a bit late to the spot at times, he’s relentless in pursuit and demonstrates a high motor. Probably best-suited as a 3-4 end in the NFL, he carries a solid mid-round draft grade.)

SI's All-Bowl Team: Who Stood Out from the 2018–19 Postseason? (DL: Austin Bryant, Clemson (Cotton Bowl) - Notre Dame only ran for 88 yards on 35 attempts against Clemson.

Prospect Rankings – top 2019 NFL Draft prospects in the College Football Playoff (35. AUSTIN BRYANT, CLEMSON – EDGE: A much better run defender than pass-rusher, Bryant won only 11.8% of his pass-rushes this season but was able to bring in 10 run stops. However, all of his 2018 production pales in comparison to his 2017 season, as he regressed at the wrong time for his pro prospects.)

Defensive Risers and Sliders - 2018 (Austin Bryant/Clemson: Bryant entered the season graded as a potential first-round pick but has fallen short of expectations. His production is way off from a year ago and he’s had fractional impact on a defensive line full of impact defenders. Some have mentioned to me they believe Bryant could slide into the last day of the draft.) (12-12-18): http://draftanalyst.com/defensive-risers-sliders-2018
NFL Prospect Matchups: NC State vs. Clemson (Somebody is going to look good on Saturday, and Jones will be charged with stopping Clemson’s outstanding pass rushers Clelin Ferrell and Austin Bryant. Ferrell, who is expected to enter the draft, has six sacks and eight tackles for loss this season. He’s incredibly athletic and besides his pass-rushing skill, Ferrell easily makes plays in space on the ball carrier. I grade him as a top-10 pick for next April. Bryant, who’s not as athletic or fast, has been slightly disappointing this season. He’s offers size and growth potential but must improve his play against the run.)

Scout's Eye: Top NFL Prospects to Watch in Week 8 (DE Austin Bryant, Clemson, SR (6-5, 280, 4.83, #7): The under-heralded Bryant has been productive, registering 5.5 tackles for loss this season, including three sacks. He generates great push and shows the ability to fight through the trash to make plays in the trenches. Bryant is bigger and not quite as explosive as some of his Clemson line mates, which causes him to be a bit late to the spot at times. This is also why at his size, he's best-suited as a 3-4 end in the NFL. His relentless effort and high motor should make him an early to mid-round draft target.)

2019 NFL Draft Big Board: More D-linemen added after wowing in Week One (31. Bryant (2018: 6 tackles, two tackles for loss (two games)): Bryant is the last of the four-headed defensive line monster at Clemson that may very well push the Tigers into the playoff yet again this season. While not quite as twitchy as fellow defensive end Clelin Ferrell, Bryant is a fine athlete in his own right, as his one-handed interception against Virginia Tech or four sack breakout against Auburn last season proved. In case you were wondering, no college team has ever produced four first round picks among one position group in the same draft. ACC rival North Carolina State had three defensive linemen (including No. 1 overall pick Mario Williams, Manny Lawson and John McCargo) get drafted in the first round back in 2006.)

Scouting the ACC - Clemson (Austin Bryant is another good pass rusher who makes a lot of plays up the field or in space. His size and speed are not on a par with his teammates, but Bryant will be very effective at defensive end in a four-man line.) (7-27-18): http://draftanalyst.com/scouting-acc-clemson-0
Who Are the Defensive Linemen Expected to Dominate the 2019 NFL Draft? (DE Austin Bryant, senior, Clemson: The fourth-best of the Tigers’ defensive line prospects, which this year is like being fourth at the Miss America pageant. Bryant’s explosive game projects him as a speed rusher in the NFL, but some could question how complete a player he can become.)

NFL Draft Defender Ranks (7. Bryant: Clelin Ferrell (6’5/260) and Austin Bryant (6’5/265) are so disruptive. The duo collectively posted 18 sacks and 33.5 TFL last year. Ferrell in particular had a shot to go in Round 1 had he declared for the 2018 draft. He's a long end who effectively converts speed to power. Bryant broke out with 15.5 TFL last year.)
