Former Cougar stars in 'Longest Yard' remake
Former University of Houston football
player Maurice Bryant is set to make his acting debut when the remake of the
1974 classic "The Longest Yard" hits movie theaters nationwide on May 27.
Bryant wears #86 in the movie as a
member of the 'Mean Machine' prison team.
A six-year veteran of the Arena
Football League, Bryant is currently both a wide receiver and linebacker for
the Philadelphia Soul.
Bryant lettered for Houston in 1996 and
1997 after transferring from Los Angeles Valley College. He finished his
career with the Cougars with49 receptions for 634 yards and two touchdowns.
Adam Sandler and Chris Rock star in
"The Longest Yard," Paramount Pictures' and Columbia Pictures' comic story
of a former pro quarterback trying to make good in the toughest possible
situation. When former NFL player Paul Crewe (Sandler) is sent to prison,
the warden forces him to transform a diverse group of inmates into a
football team.
Unlikely teammates, the convicts unite
when they find out who they are playing — the guards. With the help of
fellow inmates Nate Scarborough (Burt Reynolds) and Caretaker (Rock), Crewe
promises the cons a chance to exact revenge in a bone-crushing showdown
where anything goes.
The film, which also stars James
Cromwell, Nelly, and William Fichtner, has been rated PG-13 for crude and
sexual humor, violence, language & drug references.
The film's cast also includes a
who's-who of famous NFL names, including Michael Irvin, Bill Romanowski,
Brian Bosworth and Terry Crews.
Professional wrestlers Bill Goldberg,
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Kevin Nash and kick-boxing champion Bob Sapp also
have roles in the movie.
Compiled from a
Houston Athletics news release.
