Few teams in any sport are as recognizable as the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL. You see that navy blue star, and you immediately know who it belongs to. And if you're wearing No. 88 in Dallas, the already high ceiling gets even higher. Drew Pearson, Michael Irvin, and Dez Bryant are a few of the legends who have worn that iconic wide receiver number in Dallas, with the latter being perhaps the biggest name of the bunch.
Dez Bryant's son, Dez Bryant Jr., is currently a prospect making his way through Southlake Carroll's elite program. Whether or not he ends up a Cowboy in the long run, Will Stein is busy trying to make him a Wildcat before then. According to his own post, Bryant Jr. has received an offer from Kentucky.
If you were watching football from 2012-2014, you probably saw a lot of Dez Bryant. During that time, Bryant had.3 straight 1,000-yard seasons and set the single-season record for touchdowns, catching 16 in 2014. If you had him on your fantasy team, you were doing pretty well.
Dez Bryant Jr. is Much Like His Dad
Bryant's son, in the class of 2028, shares a lot of the same qualities as he had in his prime. His statistics are impressive for someone a few years out of college competition. Bryant Jr. recorded a 4.46-second 40-yard dash, a 4.18-second shuttle, and a 9-foot, 2-inch broad jump at an Under Armour event back in the spring.
Blessed to receive an offer from the University of Kentucky. All Glory to God. #AGTG @leemunn87 @CoachRazloznik @CoachL_OBrien @coachwetzel_ @CoachJP3 @drobalwayzopen @SLC_Recruiting @CarrollDragonFB pic.twitter.com/s8ajSmKwCl

He's currently an unranked recruit, but as he transitions to varsity football with plenty of time left to play, you can expect those numbers to climb quickly. And, if he's as much like his dad on the field as he is off of it, Bryant Jr. will be a real issue for defensive backs at any school. The 5-foot-10, speed-firsts receiver would slot in perfectly on the outside in a Will Stein offense.
Not only does Stein love to go deep, but he often draws up throws underneath, designed to keep a defense honest and on their toes. Anytime a player boasts a 4.4 speed, defenses will have to worry about them taking it to the house anytime you touch the ball.
It is a long way off, but it isn't hard to imagine Dez Bryant in Lexington in the stands just like Chad Ochocinco is now. Kentucky's only big-name competition for the receiver, as of right now, is Texas A&M. It's awesome to see Stein in on this recruitment early, regardless of how it plays out from here.
