Kansas safety Cobee Bryant ejected for targeting vs. Illinois

Just a few minutes after losing Austin Booker to a targeting penalty, Kansas safety Cobee Bryant was also ejected for targeting against Illinois. He will also miss the first half of next week’s game against Nevada as a result.

Bryant went to tackle Fighting Illini wide receiver Isaiah Williams in the fourth quarter of Friday’s game, but appeared to lead with the crown of the helmet. Williams was also deemed a defenseless player, and the official threw the flag.

Upon review, the call stood. Bryant was ejected and, per NCAA rules, will sit out the first two quarters of Week 3.

Bryant is one of the top players on Kansas’ defense this year, coming in as a preseason All-Big 12 selection. He had three tackles against Illinois through more than three quarters of action prior to his ejection.

This story will be updated.
