Bruener saw early action as he started from 2021-2024. His senior season was his best yet as he racked up 104 tackles, three interceptions, and five passes defensed.
He received multiple honors in college including his 2023 Honorable Mention All-Pac-12 team and 2024 third-team All-Big-Ten Conference.
