Who Is Bryce Drummond? Meet the Pioneer Woman’s Eldest Son—His Football Dreams, Legal Trouble and Family Support
Ree Drummond’s son Bryce is making headlines for football, family—and legal drama
We all know and love Ree Drummond’s family. From Paige Drummond’s wedding to Alex Drummond and her new daughter, Baby Sofia, we pay close attention to what happens in the lives of the Drummond girls. Bryce, 22, the Pioneer Woman’s eldest son, on the other hand, rarely gets the spotlight, until now!
Who is Bryce Drummond?
Born on September 17, 2002, Bryce is one of the five children of Food Network star Ree Drummond and her husband, Ladd. He is the third oldest of the group, following Alex and Paige. After Bryce, the Drummonds welcomed Todd in 2004 and foster son Jamar in 2018.
Like his sisters, Bryce grew up in Pawhuska, Okla., and was homeschooled for his early years. He broke the Drummond pattern of fully homeschooling, though, and attended Pawhuska High School, where he began his football career.
Bruce Drummond’s football career
As a senior on the Pawhuska football team, he completed between 233 and 308 passes, leading to 59 touchdowns for his team, which had an undefeated season. When he graduated in December 2020, a semester early, he had college offers from Purdue, Texas State and Tulsa.
He ultimately committed to play for the University of North Texas. In July 2020, Bryce revealed his athletic aspirations may be larger than his current reality. “I mean, I want to be the leading passer in Oklahoma. Top, leading passer in America,” he told The Oklahoman.
In April 2023, Ree revealed that Bryce had transferred to Oklahoma State University to pursue his dreams of playing on the team. Not only was the program more competitive than his previous team, but he also lived closer to family, which surely made Ree and the bunch happy!
Bryce Drummond’s arrest and legal appeal
In 2024, Bryce was arrested after Stillwater police suspected he was in control of a vehicle while intoxicated. A Payne County judge dismissed the misdemeanor in April, but the arrest triggered a separate civil action by Service Oklahoma that took away Drummond’s right to freely drive for 180 days.
Drummond and his attorney, Ky Corley, appealed the license revocation. While trying to get the appeal processed, Bryce was pulled over in Osage County and ticketed for driving with a revoked license. The local court dismissed this charge because his appeal was pending.
On August 1, the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals upheld his revocation, finding that the district court did not make an error. Corley told The Oklahoman that they plan to appeal the decision to the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
What’s next for Bryce Drummond?
With his transfer to Oklahoma State University and a clear desire to pursue his football dreams closer to home, Bryce seems focused on making the most of his athletic career while staying rooted in family.
Though recent legal challenges may have temporarily complicated things, Bryce and his legal team are pushing forward with appeals—signaling his determination to overcome setbacks and stay on track.
Whether he continues to build momentum on the football field or explores new paths, one thing’s clear: the youngest Drummond son is stepping into the spotlight with purpose and drive.
