- He will have one season of eligibility and, per On3’s Joe Tipton, plans to enter when the portal opens April 7 to play his fifth year at a new school.
- Byrd posted 10.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game in his redshirt junior season.
- The 6-foot-6 perimeter stopper guarded multiple positions and produced near two steals and over one block per game, a profile that contenders often seek for immediate impact.
- He was the last player left from SDSU’s 2023 national runner-up team and preserved a fifth year by redshirting after four appearances that season.
