100 Days of Summer: Get to Know No. 38 Philip Redwine-Bryant

Published

We’re almost there: Only 38 days to go before OSU kicks off 2017. To help us pass the time, let’s take a look at promising walk-on who made a position change this offseason.

How he got to OSU

Redwine-Bryant came to Stillwater by way of 3A Academy High School in Little River, Texas. He walked on at OSU following an all-district senior season with 836 receiving yards and six touchdowns.

What he’s done in Stillwater

After a redshirt year in 2015, Redwine-Bryant turned heads in the 2016 spring game. He grabbed four catches for 62 yards including this play which left some OSU fans with hope that Gundy had found another diamond receiver in the rough from a small Texas school.

Unfortunately, Redwine-Bryant only appeared in the season opener against Southern Louisiana and didn’t record a stat. Even with the loss of injured freshman Dillon Stoner, the wide receiver rotation was too deep for him to see the field after Week 1.

Role in 2017

The coaching staff saw the writing on the wall. With LSU transfer Tyron Johnson now eligible and Stoner back, and with a slew of incoming and upcoming talent in the receiver pool, they made the decision to move Redwine-Bryant to safety. His 83 is now a 38 and he’ll get a chance to show off his athleticism in centerfield behind the likes of Ramon Richards and Tre Flowers. Size at safety has been a priority in the recruiting game. So adding the 6-2, 215-pounder to was a no-brainer. Now, Redwine-Bryant adds depth at a position of need.

Noteworthy stats and highlights

Recorded one tackle for the black team during the 2017 spring game. Was a decorated multi-sport athlete in high school (insert Gundyism) and earned all-district honors in football. Showed out in basketball, baseball and track and field in high school.
