LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky senior safety Ty Bryant has been named a nominee for the William V. Campbell Trophy, considered college football’s most prestigious academic award for recognizing scholar-athletes who excel in academics, leadership and on-field performance.

Bryant, a Lexington native majoring in communication, carries a 3.825 grade-point average and has been honored repeatedly for his academic achievements. The two-time Southeastern Conference Fall Academic Honor Roll member was named a First-Team Academic All-American in 2025, the first Wildcat to earn that honor since Will Levis in 2022. Bryant has been selected to the UK Dean’s List five times and was named to the Division I Academic All-District Team by CSC in 2024.

On the field, Bryant delivered an outstanding 2025 season, leading the SEC with four interceptions while recording 76 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss and one pass breakup in all 12 games. The standout performance included a two-interception game against Ole Miss and earned him All-SEC Second Team selection.

He is the 23rd player in school history to earn the official Academic All-America honor, with the 23 honorees accumulating 27 total selections.

The Campbell Trophy, established in 1990 and renamed for the late William V. Campbell, recognizes the nation’s top college football scholar-athlete annually. The National Football Foundation Awards Committee selects finalists and a winner, who receives a postgraduate scholarship.

Kentucky football kicks off its 2026 season on Sept. 5 against Youngstown State at Kroger Field, with the game airing on SEC Network+.
