Bryan, a midfielder from Jamestown, Ohio, scored eight goals and registered four assists in 16 matches as a senior at Greeneview High School as he was named to the Ohio Heritage Conference First Team and the All-District First Team. He was also an OHC First Team selection and an All-District Second Team pick as a junior as Greeneview won the Division III state championship.

"I feel really good about having Nick join us next fall,” said MVNU head coach Paul Furey. "I was a bit surprised that he was not recruited by more schools because he is a solid player who will have a good college career. He is a good guy with a desire to attend a Christian college. He has a good work ethic in the midfield, but also has the ability to create and score as he gets forward. He will do a nice job for us and will fit in well in our campus community.”

In addition to playing soccer at Greeneview, Bryan is a member of National Honor Society and serves as the vice president of Students Opposed to Drugs and Alcohol (SODA). He has also been the vice president of Christians in Action and has played club soccer for Ohio Galaxy and Team Dayton.

"There are several reasons why I decided to attend MVNU,” said Bryan of his college choice. "It is a Christian school with a good soccer program. MVNU has a nice campus and is in a good location in regards to where I am from.”

MVNU finished the 2006 season with a 7-10-1 overall record and a 4-4-0 mark in the highly competitive American Mideast Conference South Division.
