DaBryan Blanton (born July 3, 1984) is an American sprint athlete. He attended the University of Oklahoma, where he was a three-time Big 12 champion in the 100 metres,[1] until 2005, when he decided to sign a professional contract with Nike.[2]
In his freshman season at Oklahoma, while still a junior athlete by IAAF standards, Blanton ran a 10.07 in the 100 metres, which at the time tied Stanley Floyd's American Junior Record.
A native of Forney, Texas, Blanton also played football in high school, and was ranked the No. 47 prospect in the nation by Rivals.com.[3]
