Bryan Stork (born November 15, 1990) is an American football center for the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Florida State.

In the span of 13 months, Stork was the starting center for Florida State's win in the 2014 BCS National Championship Game as a senior, and the starting center as a rookie for the Patriots when they won Super Bowl XLIX.

High school career

A native of Vero Beach, Florida, Stork attended Vero Beach High School, where he was teammates with Zeke Motta and Marcus Jackson. Stork played tight end in high school, but was primarily a blocker in a run-based offense and registered 43 pancake blocks. In his senior year, Vero Beach finished 9–3 and lost in the second round of the playoffs to Royal Palm Beach.

Regarded as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, Stork was listed as the No. 26 tight end prospect in his class.[1] He chose the Seminoles over offers from Maryland, Syracuse, Central Florida, and Florida International.

College career

After redshirting his initial year at Florida State, Stork was converted into an interior offensive lineman. He began the 2010 season as a reserve, but then had to replace sophomore David Spurlock at right guard midway through the Boston College game, after Spurlock suffered a concussion.[2] Stork made his first career start the following week at North Carolina State, but then missed the next two games with illness.[3] Having lost his starting job, he returned to the field on the road at Maryland, replacing Henry Orelus at right guard in the second quarter. Stork started the last three games of the season and graded out at 77 percent in the 2010 ACC Championship Game against Virginia Tech. He followed that performance up by grading out at 80 percent with a 92 pass grade in the 2010 Chick-fil-A Bowl against South Carolina.

Stork won the Rimington Trophy in 2013 given to the nation's most outstanding center .[4]

As a senior in 2013, Stork was a first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) selection.[5]

Stork is a member of the Florida State chapter of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.[6]

Stork was placed on short-term injured reserve to start the 2015 season due to a concussion and a neck injury.[10] He was activated on November 7, 2015, and the next day played guard and right tackle against the Washington Redskins due to a spate of injuries on the Patriots' offensive line.[11]
