Byrd (6-5, 312) has been named first-team All-Ivy in his last two seasons and named All-ECAC in 2022. He has played 39 games in four collegiate seasons (he did not play in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
San Francisco lost offensive linemen Mike McGlinchey (Broncos) and Daniel Brunskill (Titans) this offseason while adding Jon Feliciano and Matt Pryor. Draft Diamonds believes Byrd best fits at tackle, McGlinchey's former spot.
