(PRLeap.com) "NFL Blind Side, University of Utah," a new book by Terence Steven Bryant, NFL Blind side title Sociologist, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

As a young college student, Terence Steven Bryant earned a football scholarship to attend the University of Utah, a turning point that would shape both his future and his life story. It was there that he met Jodi Adkins, a freshman student, and the woman he would come to love deeply.

Their relationship, however, unfolded under extraordinary and difficult circumstances. Because of strong religious and cultural pressures from Jodi's family, the couple was forced to keep their relationship private. As a result, they eventually lost contact, until an unexpected emergency room visit placed both Jodi's life and that of their unborn child at risk.

When Jodi's family became involved, Terence was separated from both Jodi and their newborn daughter. What followed was a prolonged and emotionally charged struggle, marked by legal challenges and personal hardship, as Terence fought to reunite with his wife and child and to protect his own well-being.

Set against the backdrop of faith, race, and institutional power, Terence's story is one of perseverance in the face of overwhelming obstacles. His experience highlights the human cost of secrecy, intolerance, and systemic barriers, as well as the enduring strength of a father determined to reclaim his family.
