Bo Bryan, son of country star Luke Bryan, throws touchdown on first pass back from injury - USA Today

Five weeks after breaking his collarbone and just over four weeks since having surgery on it, the Georgia Bulldog quarterback commit and son of country music star Luke Bryan made his return to the field on Friday night, Nov. 13.

Battle Ground Academy (TN) hosted Silverdale Academy (TN) in the Wildcats' first postseason game and trailed by seven early in the first quarter. All Bryan needed was one pass to even things up as he connected with five-star sophomore receiver Maddox Porter for a 58-yard touchdown pass on his first pass attempt since the injury.

The two connected again later in the quarter for a 25-yard touchdown.

Prior to his injury, Bryan had put together one of the best passing seasons of any quarterback in the Volunteer State. Through eight games, he had completed 74% of his passes for 2,006 yards and 30 touchdowns to just three interceptions.

Bryan and Porter were each named as TSSAA Mr. Football semifinalists on Nov. 5.

While the injury derailed the latter half of the regular season for Bryan, he received great news a day after he had surgery to repair the broken collarbone. That call came from Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo who extended an offer to Bryan.

It didn't take Bryan to make up his mind. A lifelong Georgia fan just like his dad, Bo announced his commitment to Bulldogs four days after getting the offer.
