As a redshirt junior, he played in 12 games and had 11 tackles with one tackle for loss and one sack. Bronson was awarded a scholarship during spring practice after the season.[3] He became a starter during his redshirt senior season and finished the year with 23 tackles, four tackles for loss, and two sacks.
