“He decided to stick with football where God led him and wanted him to be,” said his mother, Kantris Oliver. “There were times where he wanted to quit but he said “Mama, I love it. I want to make you proud and it keep kids out of trouble.“

After having surgery that next week, people were asking if he lost his college offers. Bryson’s mom said there were a lot of people cheering and praying for him since they already saw what he could do on the field – and what kind of a young man and good influence he was off the field.
Ms.Oliver said she and her son “want everyone to know that God wasn’t done with adding another chapter to his football story. No matter what obstacles you face in life, keep the faith in God and it will only make you stronger.”
Bryson has still been supportive to his team when he was able to get around after being in a splint, wheelchair over a month, crutches, the boot and is now waking again.
On December 20, 2023, Bryson Adamoh announced to the public that he had several offers but chose purple – the University of Central Arkansas Bears. He will receive a full scholarship at UCA. Bryson is currently in physical therapy, working on getting completely healed to come back even stronger when he graduates in May.
Other offers came from Navy, Jackson State, U of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Mississippi Valley, and University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Ms. Oliver said, “The moral of the story is don’t ever give up on your dreams – even in the midst of the storm. As a teenager and adults. And always give 100% when you practice and play, because you never know what can happen at any given moment. Teenagers can always find ways to stay out of the trouble, and also find something that you love and care about in life and you will live your dream and be very successful in life.”
Finally, his mom said, “Everyone knows Bryson as the young man with a big smile and a big heart for Football.”
