In his three-year college career at Louisiana State University, O'Bryant was one of just 14 LSU players to record 1,000 career points and 700 career rebounds. He was also a two-time first-team All-SEC honoree.[3]
On April 1, 2014, he declared for the NBA draft, foregoing his final year of college eligibility.[3]
