Outlook (2025-26)
Thomas Bryson will look to challenge for playing time as a true freshman for the Huskers in 2025-26. The three-time Nebraska Class A All-State selection finished seventh at the high school state championships as a senior to help Lincoln Southeast to a third-place team finish. He was also the individual medalist in leading Southeast to an A-2 District title heading into the state tournament. Bryson added a tie for 18th at the Nebraska Junior Amateur in the summer of 2025, before competing at the Nebraska men's amateur championship. Both of his parents were four-year members of the golf teams at Nebraska in the early 2000s. His grandfather, Michael, is the current president of the Nebraska Golf Association.

Before Nebraska
Bryson won the 2022 Nebraska Class A state championship at Lincoln Southeast. He finished with a 141 (-3) over two rounds to claim the state title as a freshman for the Knights.

Bryson was also the 2022 Nebraska Junior Amateur Golfer of the Year. Following his sophomore season at Lincoln Southeast, Bryson was the runner-up at the 2023 Nebraska Junior Match Play at the Wayne Country Club. He also won the Arizona Biltmore HJGT and he was the Colorado Junior AJGA champion in the summer of 2023, while representing the state in the annual Kansas-Nebraska Junior Cup matches for the second consecutive year. Bryson was also a Class A All-State selection in both 2024 and 2025.
 
In the summer of 2021, prior to his freshman season at Southeast, Bryson won the Nebraska Junior PGA title with a two-round total of 134 (-10) at Stone Creek Golf Club. In the summer of 2022, he was the low Junior at the Nebraska Amateur at Firethorn Golf Club, including the low round of the championship with a 66 (-5). He finished in a tie for fifth overall. He also tied for fifth at the Nebraska Junior Amateur in Beatrice.
