"We're excited to have a player of Glenn's caliber in our program," Murphy said. "Glenn is a high level athlete with a developing all-around game."
"My time spent as a Razorback was a great learning experience for me, both on and off the court, but I really wanted to get closer to home," Bryant said. "Eastern Michigan seemed like a good fit for me. I am very excited to be back home to play in front of my family and friends and to be part of Coach Murphy's program. I am looking forward to finishing my career at Eastern Michigan."
