#1 Top Picture of the Year: Senior Cougar Shines With the Lights

Crisp County High School has not been known as a powerhouse football program since the 1980s. In fact, five of the seven region championships that the Cougars own came from 1980-89. The only other two came in 1995 and 2016.

How then, were the Cougars able to put together the most wins in school history out of seemingly nowhere? My guess, as well as many others’, would be their prized four-star defensive end and linebacker Markaviest Bryant.

Bryant, who was born and raised in Crisp County, fell in love with the game of football early on and never looked back. However, the road hasn’t always been easy for him. Growing up, he was a long and lanky kid who was never really seen as an elite athlete.

That is until he discovered an insatiable work ethic and dedicated his entire life to becoming a great football player and student. All of his hard work payed off with 85 scholarship offers and a National Letter of Intent to Auburn University.

Quote: “I was told I wasn’t big enough,” Bryant said. “I was told I wasn’t strong enough and that I wasn’t fast enough. All of that gets taken into consideration, and it drives me. I don’t play to prove them wrong, though. I play to be the best Markaviest Bryant I possibly can.”
