Bo spoke to the Times-Georgian about what it’s like being the son of Luke Bryan.
“I’ve been born into it, so I’m just used to it by now,” he said. “The thing I’ve kind of always been taught by my parents is to not be stuck in a shadow and just build your own thing. Make a name for yourself.
“I feel like I’ve done it pretty well. I’ve still got a ways to go, but I’m just going to keep going and just keep loving while I’m doing it. I’m enjoying this journey a lot.”
Gunner Rivers is a four-star quarterback who is also in the class of 2027. He is ranked as the No. 4 quarterback in the country, according to 247Sports.
