Former Tigers wide receiver Martavis Bryant has returned to Clemson and is working with the team in a student-coaching role, per a report from TigerNet. Bryant will also be finishing his degree while spending time with the program.

The move brings Bryant back to a place where he put together a productive three-year career from 2011 through 2013. During his time in a Clemson uniform, the talented receiver totaled 61 catches for 1,354 yards and 13 touchdowns across 37 games. He made 13 starts and also contributed on special teams, finishing with 291 yards on 14 kickoff returns.

Bryant averaged 22.2 yards per reception during his Clemson career, a mark that stood as the best in program history when his career ended. His 13 receiving touchdowns also had him tied for 10th in school history at the time.

His return also gives him the opportunity to work alongside a coach who knows him well. Chad Morris, now back at Clemson as the Tigers’ offensive coordinator, held the same position throughout Bryant’s entire playing career with the program.

Bryant played an important role in Clemson’s offense during the early stages of the program’s rise under Dabo Swinney. More than a decade after catching passes for the Tigers, he now has a chance to contribute from the coaching side while completing his Clemson degree.
