Brian McBryan

Brian was an outstanding 3-year starter on the offensive line at Lock Haven University. He was a leader on an offensive line that produced three 1000-yard rushing seasons by running backs Charlie Lucas (1976), Steve Harley (1977) and Joe Speese (1978). After leaving LHU, Brian became one of the most outstanding offensive coordinators/offensive line coaches in the state of PA and the country during his coaching career, which has spanned 31 seasons.

Brian coached ten offensive linemen to All-American honors at Bloomsburg University, including NFL standout Jahri Evans, who was a two-time All-American and finalist for the Gene Upshaw Award as the nation’s best small-college lineman. Evans became the highest paid Offensive Guard in the history of the NFL when he signed his final contract.

Brian’s teams have had only 4 losing seasons in 31 years of college coaching. In 24 seasons coaching at Bloomsburg University, 23 seasons saw a running back rush for at least 1000 yards. The offensive line gave up a record low 6 sacks in 2014 and 8 sacks in 2015. Running back Lawrence Elliott ran for over 1000 yards in both 2015 and 2016 seasons. In 2015, 3 of Brian’s offensive linemen achieved post-season honors.

After graduating three award-winning offensive linemen in 2013, four of five offensive linemen, all underclassmen, attained post-season honors in 2014. They joined Bloomsburg’s award-winning running back to earn a PSAC East Championship and compete in the NCAA Division II Northeast Region Finals. In the spring of 2014, lineman Brian Clarke signed as a Priority Free Agent with the Dallas Cowboys and Matt Feiler signed as a Priority Free Agent with the Houston Texans. Feiler is currently a standout starter on the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line.

In 2013, the Huskies won the PSAC Championship, led by Harlon Hill Award winner, Franklyn Quiteh, who amassed numerous BU, PSAC, and NCAS record rushing numbers. The offensive line helped Bloomsburg become the fifth-ranked rushing offense in the nation with over 313 yards rushing per game. The offensive line also powered an offense that broke school records for points in a season (474) and total offense (5,895 yards) and finished second in school history in rushing yardage (3,762 yards) and touchdowns scored (63). Lineman Brian Clarke was a national finalist for the Gene Upshaw Award for the Division II Lineman of the Year. Clarke earned a spot on the Little All-America first team compiled by the Associated Press and tackle Matt Feiler also earned a place on the third team.
